WARSAW, Poland — The Polish state broadcaster on Saturday suspended a television journalist who during the Olympic Games opening ceremony reacted to a performance of John Lennon’s “Imagine” by saying it was a “vision of communism.”

TVP, the broadcaster, issued a statement Saturday saying that the journalist and sports commentator, Przemyslaw Babiarz, would not be allowed to comment on air anymore during this summer’s Games.
