Poland had a ready-to-go bill meant to limit the influence of foreign entities (beyond EEC) in polish media. In particular the largest public broadcaster TVN is owned by the same company that owns CNN, and the law would have forced them to divest (at least partially).
USA was openly against it, already during the previous administration IIRC
A few weeks ago, the president of poland vetoed the bill, after incessant whining from the opposition, liberals, homos, abortionists, antifa, and similar ilk (main consoomers of that media). Want to guess who swayed his hand the strongest?
Funnily, mere days afterward, a foreign (USA) media company (facebook) encroached into polish politics by banning Konfederacja, a right-wing party fairly popular in that platform, possibly violating a recent polish law regarding online free expression
