And polish press is covering this as "George Soros funded Citizen Lab, we should follow the money!"

full translation:

"""

Brejza's source of information is financed by George Soros

The Citizen Lab group, which is the source of the accusations for the alleged surveillance of Brejza - as well as prosecutor Ewa Brzosek and lawyer Roman G. - itself states on its website that it is financed, inter alia, by by George Soros' Open Society Foundation, as well as several entities indirectly related to this foundation and supporting left-wing organizations, incl. pro-abortion.

Not all polish press. Just the national, govt controlled television. The same that used materials from compromised smartphone of Krzysztof Brejza in 2019

Yeah I just meant the national (polish) press. I thought fox news was bad but visiting relatives in Poland it was wild to see how much stupid propaganda TVP is spreading.

Which, unfortunately, is all the press many citizens will ever see, since so much 'press' has been brought under government control over the last term. The country is reaching Russia-level repression these days.
