The day opened with TVN24 reporting the release of Poczobut, a journalist, from Belarusian prison, suggesting Lukashenko's desire to be a significant player. By mid-morning, a new crime story emerged: a group that stole extensively, beat people, and felt untouchable. This story was highlighted twice, in the morning and evening, indicating editors prioritized it as a domestic saga of impunity and violence. The earlier geopolitical story about Poczobut was overshadowed by this crime narrative, which dominated the day's coverage.
