Sometimes, I can't help but notice the obvious intended pessimism in articles
regarding the Sejm's current ruling political Conservative-Right, written by
Poland's dominating Left Wing-Center oriented press. Here is just one small
fragment from the 'Warsaw Voice' entitled "Politicians upbeat on odds of
forming a governing coalition, Warsaw, Poland April 21, 2006".
- "If the "Stabilization Pact," which was an informal coalition of PiS, LPR
and Samoobrona that was supposed to last at least a year and fell apart after
only a few weeks, is an indicator of things to come, the coalition may fall
apart before it gets off the ground.
- Despite Thursday's optimistic mood of all politicians involved in coalition
talks, political uncertainty will likely continue for some time."
I've noticed similar statements made in several other publications such as
the "Warsaw Business Journal" in a desperate attempt to undermine and
create 'chaos' in the current government's hierarchy. In all due respect,
whether the press, other countries, the EU senators, or current population
approve or disapprove the current Right-Conservative government and the
merging of PiS, LPR, Samoobrona, and PSL into one ruling coalition, they
(current government) should at least be given a fair chance to administer and
implement their proposed policies with objective integrity before chewing
them apart in the media. Let's see what they do in one year + from now, and
then judge them with constructive criticism. It's only fair, but who ever
said that politics was an honest and moral game minus constant backstabbing
and trashing? In the end, the former Communists and political Left may
benefit from it all once again with the help and biased favoritism of the
media. I can see the argument that was made by Kaczynski's government to
enforce a stronger 'watchdog' in what statements the press makes, however, I
do not believe in either the suppression of the freedom of speech, nor do I
support the abuse and favoritism often noticeable in the freedom of speech.
Reporting in a balanced, fair manner is the most respectable. I am not
personally endorsing one party or the other, let's just wait, see, and judge.
Once upon a time came Wałęsa, ousted by Kwasniewski, replaced by
Kaczynski...right-left-right...what comes next?
