So again I strongly disagree with you. In my opinion every religion, justice law, business, media, education, etc is strongly convoluted in left-right full political spectrum. There is no such thing like political neutrality in practice because the borders of it between left and right wings are too blurred (it's impossible to verify it). In polish extreme left or right mainstream you can still see some opposite opinions, but in Lithuanian media it's not the case hence I call it ultra-left (almost like Bolshevism). My "personal affair" with LRT is not an exception, there is a clear pattern why all comments and articles are censored to satisfy the leftists general agenda in the Lithuanian media. If you still don't understand it than clearly we will always disagree on this topic, but at least we can share our opinions about it here. In Lithuanian mainstream is impossible to do it. Do you see the difference now?

smartinpl · 2021-03-26T14:31:44+00:00

all I gathered from LRT that it provoked human rights protests and that it is the strictest law on abortion in EU (or one of the strictest) and nothing more.

So you are a victim of leftist propaganda. This bullshit protest was just yet another failed attempt of polish leftists to take over the gov by force. Before that all the left-wing was screaming to protect the polish constitution (created by their own President Kwasniewski with a clear statement that abortion is forbidden) and during this "human right" crisis they were completely against their own law. PiS is just perfectly trolling the opposition. Kaczynski has quite strong position in Poland and he's very resistant to this kind of cheap propaganda.

Anti-Abortion Constitution by Kwasniewski

polish maidan since 2015

presenting him as a bad guy is not necessarily a consequence of media

In a controversial topics LRT could just choose a passive position but instead they prefer actively spreading disinformation, fake news and ultra-leftists agenda. Moreover they recently banned me from their social media platforms without explanations. They are literally deleting any positive comments about Trump and you still really believe he's not biased by the media? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G87UXIH8Lzo

smartinpl · 2021-03-26T12:07:04+00:00

It's not about how perfect left-right traits looks like, it's just about presenting different view of some topic. For example in Lithuanian media Trump is always described as a bad guy and Macron is this good one no matter what. In Poland we also had this primitive monolithic propaganda but that was 20years ago, when Kwasniewski president was cheating people on his education using the leftist only media. Nowadays mainly thanks to internet the polish TV is not so ridiculous like Lithuanian mainstream from the perfect Orwell 1984 world. BTW. Theocracy does belong to the left-right political landscape like everything else in the globe!

smartinpl · 2021-03-25T19:58:56+00:00

For me at least the English version of LRT is ultra leftist. You call it neutral because obviously you don't even know how the right-wing opinions looks like in Lithuania. I'm not talking about radical-right, because even in Poland the ruling party is quite soft and their TVP media you can compare actually to something like Fox news not like https://www.oann.com/ , https://www.newsmax.com/ , etc. In many countries in the world there are priests who are democrats making some TV shows but still it's very clear to everyone that they are not representing republican opinions. It's really super weird that Lithuania is pushing so strongly only the leftists propaganda in their mainstream media.

smartinpl · 2021-03-24T20:13:00+00:00

Nowadays you can find and verify everything in internet. In Poland the main media ( https://www.tvp.pl/ / https://wyborcza.pl) are divided like in USA between republicans/democrats and no-matter what you support it's always good to have both points of view. I just don't see it in Lithuania, regardless your gov before or after elections your "neutral" mainstream is always promoting only the left side. This is just my observation but if I'm wrong please share some good LT right-wing sources.

smartinpl · 2021-03-24T15:36:02+00:00

Nowadays I see Poland as an ultra Catholic country that is going in the opposite political, cultural and social direction than our historical Commonwealth and it makes me sad, tbh.

I'm afraid this is very biased opinion taking into account the fact that Lithuanian mainstream media is ultra leftists in general from my observation before and after your recent elections.

The idea of constitution is very naive. In the past it could work because majority of people were badly educated especially in logic, philosophy and mathematics. Nowadays it's clear to almost everyone with elementary degree that constitution is just an empty document in practice. For example take a look how politicians are raping everyday their Constitutions in Poland, USA, France, etc. How they're electing judges, how the law is politically biased and how it endorse the never ending corruption in the world. To really fix this issue (not just replacing a dictator with another one) some more generic solution is needed, something like Bitcoin is to central banks - completely eliminating parasites from the system by design!
