Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that the only way to remain in power is to have your own media outlet and to tackle the “insanity of the progressive left.” His comments came during a special conference of the US Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest’s Balnaconference centre.
Orbán, who was recently elected to a fourth term, laid out a 12-point blueprint to achieving and consolidating power under the slogan “God, Homeland, Family”.
He claimed that the US media— CNN, the New York Times and others—is largely dominated by “Leftist” Democrats and called for shows like right-wing aligned Fox News Tucker Carlson’s to be broadcast “24/7”.
“We have to take back the institutions in Washington and Brussels. We must find allies in one another and coordinate the movements of our troops,” Orbán said, suggesting that it was time for the right to join forces.
He told Republicans that media influence was one of the keys to success.
In Hungary, the prime minister and his allies have effective control of most media outlets in Hungary, including state TV, reported The Guardian.
“Have your own media. It’s the only way to point out the insanity of the progressive left,” he was quoted as saying.
“The problem is that the western media is adjusted to the leftist viewpoint. Those who taught reporters in universities already had progressive leftist principles.”
The Guardian claimed that journalists from reputed media outlets like the New Yorker, Vox Media, Vice News, Rolling Stone, and the Associated Press, were denied access to the event despite months of requests.
It is being claimed that the organisers either ignored their requests for accreditation or told them to “watch the event online”.
Orbán’s 12-point action plan also included points on faith, “because the absence of faith is dangerous” and the importance in countering “LGBT propaganda” which was “still new in our country but we have already destroyed it”.
Disney & Comcast are the primary contributors to the malicious media.
‘He claimed that the US media— CNN, the New York Times and others—is largely dominated by “Leftist” Democrats’
He “claimed.” Oh, my what an outlandish “claim.” And, in other news, Orban “claimed” that water is wet.
Well duh! Such a crying shame that our “conservative” political leaders need a foreign leader to lead them to the light. The real question is will they learn a lesson and actually DO something of consequence to change the media status quo or will our “conservative” leaders keep doing what they always do and just BWM about it. In case you’re wondering Bitch,Moan,Whine.
It’s also good to remember that half of Biden’s Twitter followers are fake. In related news, nobody watches CNN.
I don’t necessarily want a conservative media; I want a fair media. See Tagline.
A conservative media might be as bad as what we have now. OK, not that bad, but bad.
Don’t be fooled!!! We need to support the Neocons on Ukraine!
(but nowhere else)
You want what has seldom been seen. For most of the history of the United States, the media has been partisan.
For a few decades, several media outlets were relatively impartial, politically. That is to say, you could not easily determine if the newspaper was Republican or Democrat.
That era did not last long. It appeared to last longer than it actually did, because the Progressive left insisted its version of reality was objective truth.
We were ruled by a Mediacracy from about 1960 to 1994. Since then, we have had enough alternative media that the Progressives have had to become ever more strident and obvious in their partisan politics and censorship.
Including the prince of poofters Chris Hayes, Banjo-Boy and his adulterous wife, Don Lemon-jello-twink, Transvestite Maddow, Nicole Wallace & Gromit, etc. etc. They are not going to escape punishment.
All Republicans should sue the MSM for in-kind contributions to their opponent. If every Republican (local, state and federal) each filed lawsuits against each MSM outlet, then they could get enough $ to either bankrupt them or to bankroll every Republican candidate.
The other option is, when the Republicans take control, is to pass a law that for every story where a Democrat is quoted or given air time, equal air time MUST be given to a Republican.
That sounds like the old fairness doctrine ... be careful ...
Excellent!
Elon should buy MSNBC after he’s got Twitter
