Polish state TV channel TVP Info has been taken off air after Prime Minister Donald Tusk's new government moved to depoliticise public media.

Parliament in Warsaw backed a resolution on Tuesday night calling for independence, objectivity and pluralism in public TV and radio.

In recent years, TVP's main evening news broadcasts, and TVP Info, became a propaganda machine for the PiS government, and the new coalition, led by pro-EU Prime Minister Donald Tusk, had promised voters to turn state media into a platform for "reliable information".

After taking office in 2015, PiS went much further than any previous government in controlling TVP's narrative.

It changed Poland's media law and set up a rival media regulator to allow it to sack management boards and pack the public media with journalists sympathetic to its policies.

While it was doing this, it enacted legislation to increase its political control over the judiciary and the civil service. It put its own people in charge of the security services and state-controlled companies.

Many Poles old enough to remember the crude propaganda of the communist-era authorities in the 1970s and '80s said TVP's methods were even worse.

It's bemusing to see a former far-right nation swinging back to liberalism while the UK has abandoned liberalism and moved just as far right, even going further than Poland had in rejecting international law and repealing human rights law.

It's a funny old world.

That's exactly what PiS have been doing. They took over the media, judiciary and civil service, pushed their opponents out, moved their fascists in. Everyone else was silenced and banned.

That was indeed convenient while it lasted but now it has ended.
