Super Express is a Polish tabloid published in Warsaw since 1991. Best known because of publications about political scandals. Before the 1993 and 1995 election in Poland Super Express published pre-election polls, although there's 24 hours time without media information about politics. Super Express published also photos of Polish Television (TVP) war-correspondent Waldemar Milewicz's body after he was killed by Iraqi rebels.
The paper's daily circulation is about 370000. It is owned by the MediaExpress.
The tabloid has come under intense criticism from the Bundestag, the German parliament, after publishing images picturing Polish national football team coach Leo Beenhakker carrying the decapacitated heads of German national football team head coach Joachim Löw and captain Michael Ballack in the build up of their UEFA Euro 2008 Group B opener against the Germans in Klagenfurt, Austria. Peter Danckert, head of the Bundestag's sport committee, has called upon the the Sejm, the Polish parliament, to take appropriate action on Super Express, labelling the issue a scandal. Beenhakker has since distanced himself from the images, calling the people who published the article "sick".[1]
