Polish TV channel fined over coverage of protests

WARSAW: Poland’s media regulator has fined a major news channel over alleged biased coverage of anti-government protests in December 2016, with the broadcaster TVN24 vowing Tuesday to appeal. Teresa Brykczynska, spokeswoman for the KRRiT regulator, told AFP that US-owned TVN24 was being fined because it “failed to inform viewers that the December 16-18 protests held outside parliament were unlawful, and for urging viewers to participate in the illegal protests.”
