In the spotlight: Andrzej Morozowski and Tomasz Sekielski
It was during this show two weeks ago that the famous 'Begergate' tapes were revealed. In fact, it was Sekielski and Morozowski who convinced Self-defense's Renata Beger to record her negotiations with prominent PiS politicians, thus they helping to create a political scandal.
In PiS' view the journalist stook part in a coup to overthrow the government. A week after the tapes were presented, the two invited PiS' Jacek Kurski - the architect of the party's mud-slinging campaign last year - to the show. Kurski proceeded to accuse a few famous Polish journalists of cooperation with military secret services and helping to overthrow a government in the early 1990s. He also claimed the Beger recording was a provocation inspired by Milan Subotić, TVN's director of programming, whom Kurski accused of links with the secret services.
The hosts and Kurski got into a heated discussion that nearly got out of hand, with sarcastic comments and bursts of laughter interrupting on both sides. The journalists later apologized to the viewers for the way they handled the discussion with Kurski, and underlined that PiS politicians are welcome on their program. However, we might not see anyone from the party in front of Morozowski and Sekielski soon, as PiS said that it would boycott the program until the journalists apologize to Kurski.
