In my opinion this is actual problem in Poland nowadays, however: a. This article was published by a newspaper which has proven track of publishing fake polarizing news, b. Unfortunately - the so called democratic oposition has also proven track of similar behavior. One may check #SilniRazem (together we are strong) which is kind of meme on Polish Twitter. 3. It is likely that the intent of the original article was to polarize using one-sided reporting of the issue. To sum up - yet another polarizing click-bait with aim is to cause outrage.

The Guardian is notoriously biased and rabidly left wing. Just look at how they characterize TVP in the article. Is Antifa's propaganda bureau running this newspaper? From what I understand, the investigation was done by the Polish branch of Newsweek, owned by Ringier Axel Springer. For context, people here should know that Ringier Axel Springer is one of a handful of German companies that hold about 80% of the Polish media. These companies are notorious for their hit pieces on conservative politicians and politics. This is a serious problem for Poland, e.g., geopolitically speaking, because it means that foreign interest is molding domestic opinion. By now, anyone who hasn't been pulling a Rip van Winkle knows that the EU is largely a means for Germany to project power and influence, a means to fuel its export market, and a means to acquire cheap labor in the East. Thus, interpreted through this lens, this article starts to look suspicious, perhaps one of those smear pieces where something (unfortunately very commonplace) is attributed exclusively to the enemy. May I remind people that Obama made use of social media long before Hilary and Trump both did, yet Trump gets all of the attention. So if you still don't at least suspect bias, then you're hopeless.
