The study aims to describe the main lines of political division between Polish media and journalists characterized by a high degree of polarization and politicization. My research makes use of content (quantitative) and discourse (qualitative) analysis of two profiled web portals: wPolityce.pl (right-wing) and naTemat.pl (liberal). The focus is on publications addressing the topics of media and journalists (metajournalism) from 2016 to 2019 (with the conservative government’s ascension to power marking the turning point). The main research interest centers on the following particular elements of the analyzed texts: discussions about polarization, the assigning of political and party affiliations to the media, the framing effect applied to the media and journalists, thematic frames used against the “hostile camp”, and language demonstrating Polish media polarization. The present analysis contributes a cognitive insight into the political and ideological discourse that the Polish media are currently involved in
