Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present article has been to present the media image on the example of three persons.Marek Edelman did not conceal his hatred of Jewish Military Union. This right-wing, revisionist organization (revisionism-zionism is a fraction within a zionism movement) operated and fought in the Warsaw ghetto. After fifty years, Edelman revealed the reason for his hatred of the Jewish Military Union. Nevertheless, we do not know the whole truth and surely we never will. Jerzy Urban has been a journalist his whole life, he also worked as a politician for nine years. He is notorious for vulgarisms and hate-speech. His main complex is anti-clericalism. He has been sentenced for offensive words about Pope John Paul II.Daniel Passent, similarly as Jerzy Urban, all his life has been a journalist connected with “Polityka”, a weekly newspaper. During the martial law, he published texts in the form of denunciations. The victims of such denunciations could not defend themselves, offer explanations, deny, or complain, since in the martial law there was a military dictatorship, censorship, and prosecution service subordinated to state power. After the opening of the archives it turned out that Daniel Passent had been a secret collaborator of communist forces. He had written denouncing letters. After many years he apologised to some persons, but he never apologised to Gustaw Holoubek, a prominent actor and director.
