Hungary’s media reckoning: how Péter Magyar is tearing down Orbán’s propaganda empire Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s new government has begun dismantling the state media apparatus formerly used for propaganda by Viktor Orbán.

Media experts call this a necessary step, whereas Orbán’s allies decry it as undemocratic. https://euobserver.com/226786/hungarys-media-reckoning-how-peter-magyar-is-tearing-down-orbans-propaganda-empire/?cst=85c886e6b5a44593741c6c798cf864e3c9c177ba7e3e5badfec438c690e4c10f
