Citizens United was a USSC ruling; TFA is about Poland.

Poland is in the EU; NEWAG seems to be a formerly state-owned company, that was fully privatized in 2003.

I'm awfully worried about both Poland and Hungary, and their place in the EU even though I'm a brit, and now out of the EU. I think both countries should have had their EU membership suspended years ago, for corruption; meddling with judicial appointments; and generally not allowing free media. I suspect Hungary is much worse, but for me, a major reason for supporting Brexit was that I didn't want to be in a political alliance with countries that didn't comply with international treaties, which the EU was so reluctant to enforce.

To be fair not something Britain can be particularly proud of considering its libel laws.

You're absolutely right. My bad.

Arguably free media is suppressed in most of Europe. In Sweden state press subsidies are not given to press considered extreme by those in power to give it. Of course, and no wonder, those in power is the opposition. The situation is similar in other European countries.
