Morning news that instead of HírTV Háttérkép's program HírTV Háttérkép, today (12/08) at 9:05 p.m., a lecture by Tucker Carlson, the presenter of the American conservative TV station Fox News, will be shown.
By the way, the newspapers have already written about the home-made video of the conservative media personality, that it set a viewership record on YouTube. But there are also other qualitative aspects, quite a few of which were reported by the historian Irén Rab in Magyar Hírlap. We quote from his writing below.
"An American TV crew comes with a star reporter from the advanced Western world, and they are not interested in the complaining prominent figures of the Hungarian opposition. He does not meet organizations financed by the Open Society, Transparency and Amnesty International, he does not go to the editorial offices of the independent Hungarian press operating illegally, he does not visit the bridgehead of the American university CEU, which fled to Vienna.
He is not interested in the abject poverty in Hungary, the charitable actions of the Iványi Evangelical Brotherhood, which is excluded from state support, caring for the homeless. He doesn't even ask the hyperpassive mayor about the capital's withdrawals and advanced green programs.
He would at least listen to the complaints of the opposition activists and their politicians who trained in American advanced training courses and speak excellent English, about the Orbán dictatorship, but not that. Tucker Carlson, the host of America's most watched TV show, was more interested in why the Hungarian Prime Minister is being demonized by the American media, why is the news circulating that Viktor Orbán and his regime are systematically destroying democracy?
Is it true that ninety percent of the media is controlled by the ruling party, do businesses have to align themselves with the central line, otherwise they will be retaliated against, and that Fidesz party leaders are mysteriously rich? Is it true that the elections are being manipulated in Hungary?
He wanted to see all of this with his own eyes, not to hear it mediated.
He went to the southern edge of the border, looked at the established border protection system, met the border guards and talked with them. European migration is no trivial matter, he stated, immediately recalculating illegal border crossers to American proportions. It's quite striking: as if 33 million migrants had crossed the US-Mexico border and marched across the country in 2015.
Tucker Carlson personally learned about the Hungarian epidemic treatment, not at the doctor Komáromi's family doctor, but based on the official data, at an official place. If only because, according to the latest WHO data, Hungary ranks third in terms of vaccinations and epidemic management.
We could see the empty stands of the Tokyo Olympics and compare it
to the saturation of the Puskás Arena during the soccer Euro. The latter could not have been solved without successful epidemic treatment, life could not have returned to its normal cycle, there would not have been the effervescence of the Balaton summer either, despite the efforts of the opposition side to say the opposite.
Carlson also went to Esztergom, to the MCC Fest, where he gave a speech.
The Mathias Corvinus Collegium is the country's largest talent development center, its existence is a national interest, and the anti-Hungarian forces are very pleased with it. They train the conservative elite here! - they shout, and the Orbán government has therefore given it a good thumbs up. However, the now quarter-century-old institution is privately founded, and only last year it received a capital injection from state assets and shares through a parliamentary decision. To be able to take care of Hungarian culture and talent independently of the governments of the time.
Carlson conducted an exclusive interview with Viktor Orbán, everyone could hear the prime minister's excellent English, so only his pronunciation could be objected to. I would like to add that a six-month Oxford scholarship is not enough to develop flawless voice training as an adult. Paul Lendvai, the "sharpest Eastern European expert", scratches the ears and nerves of Austrian TV viewers with his brutal Hungarian accent even after sixty-five years of living in Vienna.
Tucker Carlson checked in daily on the Fox News channel live. The broadcast was broadcast from the terrace of the Matild Palace, you could see the splendor of Pest, the beautiful buildings, the illuminated Danube bank, everything that makes us Hungarians proud of our capital.
Carlson was also taken by the miracle of Pest "aesthetic buildings lift people's spirits, as opposed to dehumanizing glass buildings." (This must have been the case when I first came home from New York, I spent a week in the tranquility of Andrássy út: it was spacious, quiet and, above all, on a human scale.)
Great show tonight!
– the American viewers commented, Hungary is a great country, hats off and similar comments were seen in the posts of the reporter and Fox News. "Hungary has now become a symbol for Western public opinion," wrote 444, which up until now had instilled in its readers that Viktor Orbán and, through him, Hungary would be completely isolated and devalued in the eyes of the Western world. It can be very difficult for them to digest that instead of Deutsche Welle, a (true, conservative) TV channel from America has now arrived in Hungary, and they are certainly delighted with the country."
