Politicians blind to the people's poverty
The positive statistics used by politicians only distort the truth because despite economic growth many Poles still live in poverty, writes Jan Domaniewski in the tabloid Fakt: "A little while ago I was quite shocked to hear a well-known economist on the radio who was convinced that 'it's normal for more and more classes to form after the system change, but that society as a whole is growing wealthier.' In other words: 'Don't worry too much about how to make ends meet when the millionaire down the street buys another yacht. On the average we're both better off.' That's exactly how some politicians see the people, because they're unable to address each individual case although it occurs millions of times."

Can science end the Aids hysteria?
The Polish tabloid Fakt comments on the news of a breakthrough in Aids research: "After yesterday's news on the development of a vaccination that reduces the risk of infection with Aids we should ask a key question: does this advance put modern science in a position to end or at least ameliorate the global hysteria caused by epidemics of all types? … For many years now the media has been reminding us that we live in an 'age of epidemics'. … Can a moment like the present one be the beginning of a break with this 'age of epidemics' category of thinking?"
