lol

lol I'm pretty sure I've seen that station a few times coming in and out of Nyugati

in good news, PiS won the Polish election

though I'm surprised KP and Confederation managed to sneak into parliament

they were both consistently polling below the threshold

I'll put it like this, I walked back from the pub

I counted 18 posters for Karacsony

And 0 for Tarlos

3 overall for Fidesz

1 for Puzser

sounds like they just dropped the ball and assumed they would win

Puzser ran from microdonations

Either that or they decided to give up a bit to let the opposition fuck up in public, a bit of stage time to show people how they fail

Again, people are forgetting why the Opposition was so disliked, a few of them have not had the chance to fuck up at all because Fidesz has been in power for so long.

thanks for filling me in

there's really not any good information about this in English

even the nationalist/right-wing Hungarian sources really aren't that good

I love Mariann Ory but Magyar Hirlap's English-language coverage is terrible

I know quite a bit because the guy in 3rd place is actually a friend of mine

and my Hungarian is regressing fast

really?

interesting

Yes, I know Puzser Robert in person

yep just checked, Magyar Hirlap purged their entire English-language section

funny, an investor approached me over a year ago about launching an English-language portal for V4 news

I turned him down because it would just be a money sink

There is no money. I don't read them because they are all fed with propaganda money from either side

You get all water and no meat on that soup

yeah that's what I told the investor

Visegrad Post ran out of money in 2017 and had to fire everyone

now they just run badly-translated opinion pieces

People don't read them to get informed, they read it to assure they are right, and that market is full on both sides

I tell people the same thing when they ask me if I'm going to report on the 2020 presidential election

there's no way for me to do it without a big paycheck and no one's going to give that to me

unless I sing their tune

I like Mariann, she's a friend of mine, but Magyar Hirlap is incompetent

I have another friend at PestiSracok, they have the same problems

Yeah, that's right. And 888 is intentionally insane

Good right wing or even unbiased journalists are hard to find

moreover any attempt at honest reporting, if it gets traction, will just make me a target
