Maciej Orło¶ recalls his work at TVP and comments on the festival in Opole. “Manipulation, Propaganda, Trick”

Maciej Orło¶ ran “Teleexpress” for 25 years, becoming one of the most popular TVP presenters. Now the journalist returned with his memories to the beginning of his work at Telewizja Polska and bluntly assessed the current situation at the station. He also criticized the artists who took part in this year’s festival in Opole.

Although Maciej Orłoś has been realizing himself in the Internet and radio space for several years, he is still considered one of the most popular TV journalists in Poland. In 1991, he joined and ran one of the major news programs for 25 years. He ended his cooperation in 2016 and never hid that his decision was dictated by the changes that the ruling party began to introduce at the station.

Maciej Orłoś recalls his debut on television. The journalist criticized TVP

published in social media an archival frame from the first issue of “Teleexpress”, which he hosted. The journalist thus recalled the beginnings of his work and stated that it had always been subject to political influence, but, in his opinion, it had never been as bad as it is now.

Exactly 32 years ago, on June 15, 1991, I had my first duty at Teleexpress. Over the years, the authorities of TVP changed, unfortunately the station was never free from political influence, but I did not think that we could ever have an encore on PRL television. That’s why I left TVP in 2016, I didn’t want to be part of the government’s propaganda

explained in the introduction. Then he referred to this year’s National Festival of Polish Song in Opole and harshly assessed the attitude of the artists who took part in the event.

The presenter spoke about the festival in Opole. The artists who took part in the event were hit

This is not the first time a journalist has openly criticized . Already in 2021, he spoke negatively about the artists who decided to perform during the event. This year, he also urged a boycott of an event organized by TVP. Now, in bitter words, he referred to the creators who explained their involvement in the concert with the desire to be “above divisions”.

The arguments of some that one should be in Opole ‘beyond divisions’, because it is ‘only entertainment’, as well as tradition, etc. they are indefensible, they have no reason to exist. Why? And because manipulation, propaganda, lies, and trickery in the information and journalism department of TVP have reached such a level that every self-respecting artist / creator should stay away from this station

– he thundered, adding that this type of attitude is “support for villainous, vile propaganda”, and there is no excuse for that. The post published on Instagram immediately swarmed with comments. Many Internet users supported the presenter, sharing his views. There were also those who presented a different point of view.

Music is not politics. It is supposed to bring joy to the recipients. Stop pissing on each other and weaving politics into everything. Artists are for the audience and the audience is for them. You don’t play for the party, only for the audience

There are no decent people on public TV anymore, so all those who appear there support this propaganda and contempt for everyone who has different views than those in power.
