I caught sight of this today (well I actually spotted it in the Torygraph, but this gives more details):

Does anybody still doubt that the EU is intent on imposing a single legislature across the bloc? It sees fit to "investigate" measures taken by a democratically elected government in one of the member nations for inconsistencies with EU values. Of course the sanction (suspension of EU voting rights) is no great shakes. (If it was the UK it would make no appreciable difference as we are constantly outvoted in the EU Parliament anyway). But does anybody else like the idea of measures being taken by their elected MPs being "investigated" by the unelected EU Commission?

The European Commission launched an unprecedente d probe (investigati on) today (13 January) into judicial changes introduced by Poland's new right-wing government to see if they violate EU democratic rules and merit punitive measures. A democracy being investigated by an illegitimate democracy about democratic rules??

Slightly off question topic, I was reading this earlier
The new amendment to the country’s media law, President Andrzej Duda believes, will make the media “impartial, objective and reliable.” According to presidential aide Malgorzata Sadurska the law was signed because Duda believes that broadcasters with no proper government control lacked “credibility.”
“We see that very often subjective, personal opinion ... replaces the objective information, which should reach the viewer or the listener,” Sadurska said. “The president will monitor public media” so that they remain objective and impartial, she added.
Whether this is really the new governments intention I do not know but take the opposite, for example, several EU nations recently exposed either trying to hide or banned from reporting negative or in some cases any news about major crimes committed by gangs/groups of new refugee's in Germany, Sweden etc. If banned or restricted (very likely) or whatever then how is this considered uncensored, fair or truthful reporting and are the EU lot investigating this?
I believe the Bbc reports in favour of or has a left-wing socialist bias in news reporting and would maybe benefit some form of control, difficult i know.
