Poland鈥檚 lesson for the world
Mark Sappenfield
Pawe艂 P艂uska could be bitter or vengeful. The veteran journalist saw Poland鈥檚 previous, authoritarian government turn state media into a partisan mouthpiece.聽
Now that regime is gone, ousted by voters, and Mr. P艂uska wants to help rebuild. How?聽鈥淭here is no hatred, no poison, no hate,鈥� he tells Lenora Chu. 鈥淭his is public television, so all groups, even those that do not recognize us, have their place here. We explain to people that patriotism does not mean that you are a member of one party.鈥�
Poland helped lead Eastern Europe out of communism. Today, its lessons are for the world.聽
