Summary/Abstract: The article presents ways of constructing stories about the state, included in the news magazines of public television during the pandemic. The use of R. Waksmund's concept of stealing a fairy tale allows us to reveal references on many levels: the construction of the presented world, the creation of characters, motifs, narrative approaches, plot solutions. The reference to fairy tales also exposes the functionality of repetition – a mechanism immanently inscribed in this genre, revealing itself on many levels of the rhetorical organization of the text (on the level of invention, disposition or elocution).
