Speculation over uprising in Bahrain
The ruling family in the Kingdom of Bahrain deployed soldiers to quash protests on Thursday. At least six people were killed in the clashes. The online edition of the news magazine Polityka can't help being perplexed by the uprising, because the inhabitants of Bahrain are well off economically: "It's all somewhat absurd. Because in Bahrain there are no people who are well-educated and poor at the same time, like in Tunisia. ... There the poor people are the workers recruited from Pakistan, Bengal and the Philippines, who are nonetheless better off than the middle class in Poland. ... Of course events have been influenced by the overthrow in Egypt, which was in turn spurred on by events in Tunisia. But Bahrain is not Africa. It is Muslim Asia, stuck between the Sunni majority and the Shiite minority."

Georgian TV station fakes war
On Saturday evening the Georgian television station Imedi broadcast a fictitious reportage on a Russian invasion, informing viewers only briefly at the beginning that it was a "simulation". The broadcaster has close ties to President Mikheil Saakashvili, the Polish news magazine Polityka reports, harshly condemning the programme: "There were fatalities among the viewers. Imedi failed to make it clear that it was not reporting on actual events but on what might have happened. This type of journalism is unprecedented. It's true that [director] Orson Welles frightened the Americans at the end of the 1920s with his report on the landing of Martians on Earth. But he had explained several times beforehand that it was just a radio play. In Georgia they did not explain that it was just a TV play. The reportage even said that President Saakashvili had been kidnapped and murdered."
