A massive scandal in #poland these days 🇵🇱 Polish state radio deleted a song by a popular artist (Kazik) as they realized it's critical to the ruling party. As result lots of artist boycotted them, shitstorm in social media etc.
What people don't understand is the ruling PiS party simply doesn't care. If you want to know what happens next, look at Russia in 2000's 🇷🇺 and Hungary in 2010's 🇭🇺 . They did not care as they took control over the judiciary and media as they had popular support.
@kravietz what does "deleted" mean in this context?
The station (Polskie Radio Program 3 or "Trójka" in short) is a niche one but also a cult one: it's been always targeting intellectual circles, had their cult presenters who worked there for >40 years and was allowed slightly more - like playing Western music - even during communism.
Since PiS has taken control they kicked 50 people from the Polish Radio and replaced them by right-wing pro-government bloggers.
