Commentary by Adam Michnik for the Eighteenth A...

It's great, that finally the most popular and influencial Polish daily
newspaper has got an English version of some of its articles!!!
well done!

[szprewa]

I wonder what's made you say that. The GW is neither the most popular nor the
most influential. Moreover I think that the selection of articles for
translation is rather random. And whoever in the West cares of Jaroszewicz,
Gomułka, or _THE_ Trybuna Ludu? Instead of arousing interest with an English
reader, such articles make them shrug their shoulders.

50 years ago we have as well bilingual newspaper - all the Poles called
it "gadzinowka" and it was nazi newspaper printed in german an polish
language.Gadzinowka and Wyborcza have something in common - both of them doesnt
care about Poland and are based on lies.

Mikolaus, please don't take an offense but, if I may: both of them don't care
about... (it's plural). However, more common (and better) expression would be
"neither of them cares about..."

GW: infamous, imposing and manipulative

[szerb]

Yes, there were hopes 18 years ago.

"most popular and influential"? I don't think so.
The popularity is of the infamous kind, and "influential" is of the imposing and
manipulative kind. The best secret weapon that remnants of communist clique uses
to keeps privileges and maintain immunity.


BTW, how come that leftist "intellectual" Michnik does not know how to write in
English?
He is always so scornful and contemptuous when mocking polish politicians and
yet he himself needed to hire a nanny to translate his rumblings, mumblings and
bubblings into English.
Irrespective of language it is still the same disguised and disgusting
propaganda that Michnik learned during his early years while immersed in
totalitarian ecosystem that irreversibly imprinted his eagerly manipulative mind.

Good idea - bad idea (from Animaniacs :)

Good idea - lying in good case
Bad idea - lying in bad case to people like GW do.
