Media scandals exist. Revolutionary observation. Do you now how high Hungary scores in freedom of press rankings all over the world and do you know how high Germany scores in the same rankings?
Spoiler: Hungary scores worse than Germany in all of them and is typical among the worst if not the worst of all EU countries.
What good is the ranking if the media still doesn’t ask the relevant questions? The ranking becomes part of the decrption. The media is trusted, not much more is expected while the politicians still don’t make politics for the people.
You were talking about freedom of press and how it was better in Hungary under Orban which is just not true by any metric. That you personal have a problem with the press is just that, a you problem.
Who is the freer animal, the lion in a cage or an unleashed, well-trained dog?
You can open the cage and the lion is free, but how do you set the dog free?
I wrote ‘imagine’ because I can’t offer hard facts. I can just point at the lack of investigations for the amount of money that the citizens have to pay for free media. 8 billion dollars, a budget to keep an eye on any politician. If it is only a me problem then I have to assume that the other citizens are happy with their politicians and their decisions.
