Fourteen Minutes of Pure Propaganda For Your Viewing Pleasure

This post deals with current news items. Readers who are averse to news should probably skip this post altogether.

It seems the mere mention of Viktor Orbán is enough to get the UK elite's knickers in a twist these days.

I moved back to my ancestral homeland of Hungary nearly five years ago, and in those five years I have been endlessly amused by the way Western media depicts the Hungarian government and Hungary in general. One of the best sources of misinformation is the BBC. Regular readers of this blog know what a huge fan I am of the BBC. In light of this, I present a fourteen-minute Newsnight report about Hungary featured on the venerable media outlet nearly two years ago.

Dishonesty, disinformation, inaccuracy, misrepresentation, hyperbole, vilification, yes, this fourteen-minute report has it all. It's by far the best piece of soft propaganda against Hungary I have had the pleasure of encountering since moving to this country - from the UK oddly enough - in 2015.

The comments section for this video, coupled with the two-to-one ratio of dislikes to likes, informs me that I am not the only individual in the world who considers these fourteen minutes of  Establishment catch phrases marinating small morsels of truth utterly laughable and contemptible.

​The only redeemable things in the report are the rather lovely shots of Hungarian landmarks interspersed between the snippets of globalists ringing the alarm bells over Orbán's attacks on democracy, the rule of law, the EU, the media, migrants, George Soros, George Soros-funded NGOs, and so forth. Enjoy!

"Trigger warning" much appreciated!

I don't like to subject people to the news without fair warning, but in the grand scheme of things I think I need to take inspiration from you and get off the news entirely, Wm. It would be a lot better for my soul (and sanity)!

This is at best tangentially related, but I think Hungary/Orban should also reject white, Christian refugees from countries that endorsed this evil globalist agenda.

I can't fathom the duplicity of many of these Western Civ warriors. A century ago they derided Hungary and Poland as backwaters full of uncosmopolitan peasants and now they're cheering them on as defenders of the White race. These "nationalists" should understand that these countries have enough problems of their own without importing effeminate cowards who let their own countries get thrown to the wolves.

@ Ingemar - I can't argue with that. Unfortunately, we have many homegrown, diehard leftists here as well, some of whom are actively working to sway things in the other direction. Things will not be pretty if they succeed.

The more I hear, the more I am interested in visiting Hungary. I don't know that I will ever get there, but it is tempting.

@ Craig Davis - It's odd - the more bad press Hungary gets, the more visitors it receives. Same goes for Poland and a few other countries in Central/Eastern Europe.
