TVN is American-owned station producing American-style "news". The main reason probably why this incident is getting international attention.

> result of populism wave that also elected Trump in US, made Nazi party entering Bundestag in Germany

That escalated quickly.

So what exactly is wrong with 'american-style' news and why it deserves a government punishment? They were fined for reporting protests agains the ruling party, but you somehow try to imply it was because they did it in american style?

"Independent media" is very new in Eastern Europe. You'd be amazed at the links politicians have with TV stations and newspapers.
