Gazeta Wyborcza has been criticized for distorted coverage of controversial issues such as post-communist vetting, Polish-Jewish relations and the Polish minority in Lithuania. It has also received criticism for using its influence to whitewash former communists, particularly General Jaruzelski. After the fall of communism, the paper was criticized for taking part in an "intensive propaganda campaign" and particularly for rigorously trying to revamp Jaruzelski's image.

Remuszko claims that he left the newspaper when the Zbigniew Bujak, Aleksander Paszyński and Andrzej Wajda – formally divided this built with tax-payers materials, and by Solidarity sign and blessing, with 16 journalists of newspapers. He also quotes the Stanisław Lem(Polish popular writer) and Cezary Gmyz(chief of Rzeczpospolita, direct newspaper market "foe" of Wyborcza) that they treat him as a "bravery furious" or just "crazy man", because Agora(owner of Wyborcza) after getting on the stock exchange given everyone from first journalists some millions of dollars(and he because of leaving by other view of newspaper, didn't get the share).
