Good for Poland! Maybe they can shame the rest of the west into showing a little spine.
As a former of the (local) news media, I can say without equivocation that you're more right than you know. Not that a college degree is any indication of intelligence, or even that the person learned anything worthwhile at all, but many, if not most radio reporters, anchors and producers I worked with over the years didn't have a degree. In some cases, they never had any formal training in news; they were former board operators who got promoted to the news room. The key requirement for employment in radio these days is are you willing to work for the woefully inadequate, barely higher than minimum wage they offer.
In local TV, most reporters and producers I worked with did have degrees, but they also ranged in age from 22 to about 28, so they knew nothing about anything. Therefore, whatever liberal horsecrap they're told by their news directors or anchors, they take as gospel.
Producers, btw, are really the most powerful people behind your evening newscast. They decide how the 'cast is "stacked"...which stories go into the newscast, how much time each story receives, and which get dropped as the 'cast progresses, due to time constraints. As you watch your local news tonight, keep in mind that unless you're in a large market, the person controlling the show is probably well under 30 years old. Scary stuff, considering how people still accept their nightly newscast as "the way it is".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Yeah, can get gear like that on Auto Trader! :-)
