Hungary in the foreign media: Soros network holds all the cards?

A former journalist of left-leaning news portals 24.hu and Index.hu in a leaked interview has spoken candidly about how international NGOs “hold all the cards” when it comes to reporting on Hungary in foreign media, the state secretary for international communications and relations has said.

Citing an article in the daily Magyar Nemzet, Zoltán Kovács said on Twitter on Thursday: “Why am I not surprised? Partly because these statements are not the only ones made recently by liberals on the topic of biased reporting about Hungary. I honestly can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Most NGOs, including Amnesty International and “the ones financed by George Soros, exercise huge influence over foreign reporters writing about Hungary in the international press,” Kovács said said in an English-language post on abouthungary.hu. “For example I was invited to Brussels and Strasburg to report on individual events. Usually, in these cases, journalists were really instructed where they should go, who they can talk to,” Kovács said citing the journalist.

According to the journalist,

“it is not good” that press workers are so dependent on NGOs, and it is difficult to work transparently in such circumstances,

Kovács added. Meanwhile, in an interview in Friday’s Magyar Nemzet newspaper, the state secretary for communications and international relations said the “Soros network” had affected the way Hungary was being portrayed in the international media.

Hungary had been in the receiving end of such distortions since 2010, Kovács said, adding

the best way to combat misimpressions among the western public was to correct them in the international press.

Nevertheless, it was hard to get through to them, he added.

Kovács said the journalist in question who is a former head of the Soros Foundation had recently conceded that Hungary and Poland were being “attacked” on the international stage “with many unjust accusations”. The Soros network’s modus operandus was now clear, he said, adding that western readers, by default, couldn’t understand “what makes the Hungarian government so popular”.

Kovács said hundreds and thousands were “actively involved” all over the world in peddling “distorted facts or opinions”. “We’ve seen this … for the past twelve years … ever since the media law, the fundamental law and the cardinal laws were passed.”

In the run-up to the April 3 general election, he added, Hungary’s electoral system would be “attacked yet again by the Soros network”.

    Soros’ actions against Hungry is unforgivable. All NGOs supported by foreign money should be banned from the country.

    There is a warm place waiting for him when he finally takes his dirt nap. Eventually the adenochrome he takes will fail to keep him alive and he can return to his father in Hades. He betrayed his own fellow Jews during WW2 and pointed them out to the Nazi’s and he meddles in the affairs of sovereign nations globally trying to usher in a one world governmet that will be more tyrannical than any one ever before seen on this planet. Why their is not an international arrest warrant out for him is beyond belief.
