Original Note:
Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik were convicted for abuse of power, not (as claimed) for being Donald Tusk's political opponents. The TV station in question, TVP, was not shut down. The management has been replaced due to failure to uphold media pluralism. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/who-are-ex-ministers-jailed-poland-why-were-they-convicted-2024-01-10/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/20/poland-new-government-sacks-state-tv-radio-and-news-bosses
