This closing line is absolute gold. After 16 years of acting as Orbán’s personal propaganda megaphone, and previously giving the entire opposition mere minutes of airtime before 8 AM, watching the state media suddenly pretend to be polite, objective journalists overnight is wild.
Also, dropping this comparison on live state television is just incredibly bold: “Lőrinc Mészáros [Orbán’s childhood friend] became five times as rich in ten years’ time as the British Royal family did in four hundred years.”
He walked right into the lion’s den, refused to let the hosts interrupt or control the narrative, and called out their sudden, fake pivot to journalistic integrity right to their faces. It is obviously going to be a monumental task to clean up Hungary’s institutions, but seeing a leader with this much backbone is so refreshing. Wishing Hungarians the absolute best of luck with this massive transition! 🇭🇺🇪🇺

Powerful interview. Walking into state tv, which spent 16 years as Orbán’s mouthpiece, and calling out their sudden journalistic integrity switch live on air took real courage

Every historic moment is really just the tipping point of something much bigger

I wish this would become the norm across Europe with CNews and GBnews. Good work Hungary.
