For a few days far behind me the text, which would odtrąbić as the internet took over from television control over a big spectacle, what are the parliamentary elections, but today a little me przystopowała information that Peter Vagle Waglowski, “Internet” senatorial candidate, received only 22 thousand. voices, and of course utterly lost. As it so it is with the Internet?
I have no doubt that in the first presidential elections and now the parliamentary elections, the PiS won mainly thanks to the internet . Or rather – the Civic Platform defeated them on the Internet, giving complete without a struggle field of his main rival, thinking that television will arrange everything.
Let’s go back a year.
President Komorowski enjoys over 70-percent. social trust and is such a sure bet for re-election that the opposition parties decide to issue a second and even a third suit rivals in elections, because it seems to them that there is no realistic chance of winning. On the other hand Platform, despite successive scandals, including scandals tape, unharmed is still leading in the polls. On television last idyll that drive platformowi, evergreeni ‘mądrzący through programs like “Coffee on the table.”
PiS, with no real chance to break through on TV, it must, go down’ to the Internet. Moreover, it is very natural for the party’s media site because it’s been here for a few years for money near oscillating around the PiS, a rapidly growing right-wing new media, which does not forcibly to hide their preferences worldview.
Around these media gathers the whole community, “rebellious” columnists, haunted tribunes, the new star of political journalism and of course their readers, who consist almost exclusively of fanatical followers of PiS, who TVs – well, maybe apart from the marginal TV Republic – have entry.
Meanwhile, the other side of the political scene will still show off on TVN24 forgiving completely new media and community on the Internet. Even naTemat who competed as a medium of powalczenia of Gazeta.pl ambitions of being the voice of this part of the Polish, who thought that it is not in ruins, quickly turning towards buzzfeedowego lol-contents and becomes an easy target for supporters of PiS with ridicule lemmings.
Living in turn vibrant on Twitter that quickly and painlessly takes over from TVN24 position of the everyday main political forum.
Except that here, so seriously is present only that part of the political dispute which is focused around the PiS.
On the one hand we have the type positivists, Samuel Pereira who every day, every hour, continuously and without interruption will be translating “reality” on pisowską fashion. This is where a trench is also a Media Law and Justice owscy tub-thumpers who on the one hand stigmatize the limits of common sense every setback, on the other hand, ridiculed every one successful political rivals.
Just hit it all at a time when Poland Twitter is finally beginning to be popular social medium. And it’s not just that using it more and more people, but also for the fact that it Twitter has become an incubator memes, comments and thoughts which they live then other media, including television.
I so imperceptibly machine, which wpędzona has been in motion by right-wing new media and has gained incredible speed on Twitter, getting drawn into its orbit million people. At least as much as television.
When the PO is understood, tried to “do something with the Internet and Twitter”. Except that it worked out clumsy and ridiculous, because first of all, Twitter is the place hard, hermetic, where a reputation built up for months, if not years and any attempt to artificially control the discourse will be immediately captured and ridiculed, and secondly, the ruling camp did not develop at all facilities in the form of regular customers, fans, supporters and cheerleaders.
The result is that within a few months of declining confidence in President Komorowski, who loses the election of a candidate, which a year ago was associated with a 10 per cent can. population. Then everything goes snowballing, because through the right-wing internet with Twitter at the helm, the bones of the mouth break out already itself can not.
debates and elections.
I does not matter that President Komorowski televised debate even crushed (then) MEP Duda to the arguments and rhetoric. I does not matter that the TV is Ewa Kopacz looked at this working harder in the campaign of Beata Awl. Internet explained it all his own way, otherwise.
Besides, it’s not just that the internet has won with satellite struggle for “government of souls”. The Internet also received exclusive Coverage television debates and election nights.
“Evening election organized by the editors of Onet, Newsweek and Forbes and electoral morning at Onet.pl watched live over 2 million users” – boasted recently RASP . His evenings and earlier debate organized include Gazeta.pl and Virtual Poland. I do not suppose they were much less popular than those on Onet. Scopes at 5 – 6 million are already comparable to those of television, and that the debates on the internet they have it to yourself that you can comment and discuss in real time, the right-wing and opinion formers at the same time Twitter had to use.
I will repeat once again the thesis from the introduction to this text – I have no doubt that this is the internet (not TV) won for the PiS absolute power in the last two elections.
I just lost VAGLIA somehow to me This picture does not fit. Peter Vagle Waglowski – man internet, a lawyer whose spectacular actions amounted to the position of Internet tribune of the people – lost altogether his election to the Senate.
