Xpat Opinion: The Deadly Embrace Of Hungarian Television Propaganda
- 4 Oct 2016 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Yesterday, while waiting for the results of the anti-refugee referendum, I decided to take a look at Channel M1, one of Magyar Televízió’s four or five channels.

“People who are on their way to Europe are mainly fleeing from wars and dictatorships; they are fleeing from absolute defenselessness. What is more, the majority of these people are children! Europe, including Hungary, means the only chance and hope for them. If we refuse to help them, we will also be responsible in prolonging their suffering. We should not turn our faces away at a time when we ...
