Polish media law annoys US
By EUobserver
Poland has risked annoying the US and EU by rushing through a bill Friday banning non-EU firms from being majority owners of media companies. The law will force US-owned independent broadcaster TVN24 to sell off shares. "The United States is deeply troubled by the passage in Poland of a law that would undermine freedom of expression ... and erode foreign investors' confidence in their property rights," the state department said.
