Outrage at TVP

State broadcaster TVP last week chose not to show a live broadcast of a special commission meeting looking into the death of former minister Barbara Blida. On learning of TVP's decision, committee chairman Ryszard Kalisz decided to suspend the hearing.

According to sources inside TVP, the decision is part of a deliberate strategy to put pressure on the government as it prepares to pass a law that would curtail or abolish TVP's subscription fee.
