The aim of the study was to become familiar with the opinion of a randomly selected group of 100 respondents on the subject of policy of Polish and English language television services broadcasted at the very beginning of the Coronavirus disease. The anonymous online survey was used to get the answers about the accuracy and reliability of the information, as well as to show the understanding of how much the tested ones were aware of the influence of all news on their political views and attitude. The study also aimed at showing if in a different crisis situation, people would choose the same TV station (together with the approval or denial of the incumbent president) and whether their preferences would be in line with the official ranking data. It can be concluded that the respondents’ recognition of the credibility of the news facilitated the formation of political views, and in the process, choices. Media content analysis, critical analysis of literature, comparative and statistical methods were main tools used in the study.
