Who controlls the media? The president or some ministers?

I could write 5 paragraphs about what legal quirks government and president could use to keep control of it. It's complicated but it's believed that government would have easy time disbanding state media altogether and reforming it, if it was determined enough to skirt law in that way. PiS established separate oversight over TVP specifically but it wouldn't matter in that instance. It wouldn't require passing legislation that the president could veto either.
