Nationwide demonstrations are planned across Poland Tuesday against a bill widely viewed as a effort by the country’s ruling nationalist party to silence an independent, U.S.-owned television broadcaster often critical of the government. At stake in the bill's passage is Poland's reputation for media freedom and as a place for foreign companies to do business. Technically, the bill would prevent non-European owners from having controlling stakes in Polish media companies.
