In “” there were supposed to be different standards. Instead of soup, viewers expected clean water. Instead of horror strips – neutral information. There was to be access to all sides of the political dispute, experts not associated with one option and, finally, objectivity. Unfortunately, old habits that we got to know so well in “” still come to the fore.
In “19.30” chart school from “Wiadomości”
Apart from the sniveling Danuta Holecka and her brigade, the hallmark of “Wiadomości” were all kinds of reality-modifying charts. Scales were changed or ignored, needles were turned into pitchforks, incomparables were compared and reality was adjusted to suit the needs of the party’s message. , but as you can see, the news school of making charts still has its influence on TVP. In Saturday’s edition of the main news program “19.30” it was decided to present a chart from the past.
In Agnieszka Śmiechowska’s material about murders with transphobia in the background, data from Great Britain can be really disturbing. The posts scream of an increase in crime. And yes, the problem is serious, but these increases are not as dramatic as the creator of the chart would like.

There is practically everything here that disturbs the objectivity of the message. We don’t have a zero point, so we don’t know where we come from and where we’re going. We have absolutely no scale, which makes four thousand cases look like not a lot in one case, and a terrifyingly large number in the second column. The information about 11 percent screams at us, but the graph clearly shows that it is MUCH more than 11 percent – in fact, if all the figures were removed from the graphs, the viewer may quickly come to the conclusion that the increase in crime in Great Britain is over 100 percent!
Manipulating charts is easy, simple, and fun for those who show them. “A lot had to happen for everything to stay the same,” as one of the graph’s commenters on social media aptly noted.
