"There is no such thing as objective journalism," says the foundation. As they write: "the problem really starts when a medium claims the opposite, thus misleading its readers".

The Foundation for Transparent Journalism examined how individual opposition media reported on the events of the October 23 Peace March and the opposition demonstration. During the analysis of the foundation, it compared reports published on Index.hu, HVG.hu, 444.hu, Telex.hu, as well as on the website and/or social media pages and/or videos of Népszava.hu.

For example, in the figure above prepared by the foundation, it can be seen that "Népszava clearly writes the most negatively (with an average of about -13) about the government, Telex and 444 write roughly equally negatively (with an average of about -9), while one of the mildest critical mediums is HVG (with an average of about -7)," they write.

In its summary, the foundation states: "objective journalism does not exist, so it is natural that any video report or coverage similar to the one presented above will be biased to a certain extent." However, they underline: "the problem really starts when a medium claims the opposite, thus misleading its readers".
