Robert Kasiak - Polish language teacher from Radom
As a teacher, I'm terrified. I go out to the students with Herbert, Miłosz and Szymborska, and they come to me with TVP message. I am about values and students about imaginary threats or non-existent successes
"Have you heard that the LGBT offensive is underway?" Daniel asks me.
"And where did you see this offensive?" - I answer with a question.
He: "On Żeromskiego (main street of Radom) I saw three LGBTs!"
I was completely unaware that we were at war. If it wasn't for Daniel, whom I try to teach in one of Radom schools, maybe I would not know. Yes, I must admit that creating an opponent in the form of LGBT is the greatest achievement of TVP and environments close to golden-eyed, concerned inquisitors with tasteful flags in the lapels of jackets.
This is an undeniable success that can be compared only with the well-known radio play of Orson Welles based on "War of the Worlds". Bringing a non-existent enemy to life and causing panic on such a scale is a propaganda masterpiece.
Daniel is no exception
Criticism of environments referred to as LGBT is a clear example, but TVP creates and consolidates assessments relating to all persons, groups and environments uncomfortable for power. Opponents disturb, harm and care for the interests of strangers. In addition, they are not real patriots. For example, on December 9, I learned from "Wiadomości" that if someone has a critical opinion on the merger of two Gdansk companies, they do not want a strong Poland. This is a new understanding of patriotism
Deadly TVP
Television lies, reverse meanings, contempt and manipulation is a poison given to the public. This is intellectual murder. In addition, unpunished, because probably in 10 years or 20 years few people will remember about the current level of hypocrisy of reality, and its effects will remain. Apart from the modest examples above, I do not intend to prove that TVP is only a propaganda tool. This can be done on the example of a randomly selected issue. Messages. My goal is completely different. Much more serious and relevant.
I want to give young people the possibility of an independent and not imposed choice. I want students to believe what they see and hear. So that they do not have to wonder how much the deformed picture of the world is conveyed to them by an institution that, in principle, should be objective.
If we don't react as a society, media pathology will become the norm. No one will require the media, until recently obvious, objectivity or independence. It is already common belief that there is no place in politics for transparency and truthfulness. And the media are clearly associated with politics. The choice between TVP and TVN has long been not a choice between comparable "products". This is a political choice, and often a worldview. Read more via Oko
