The former director of the Soros Foundation, Andrej Nosko, is quoted by Magyar Nemzet. Nosko admits the existence of a double standard, that is, if the Hungarian prime minister were a socialist, the media dominated by left-liberal journalists and the European Union would have a different attitude.

- It's a simple reality, mostly left-liberal people work in the media. This is due to what I could call a selection bias - Andrej Nosko , who until 2018 was one of the directors and division heads of the Open Society Foundations in which György Soros is interested, so he knows politics, the international press and NGOs from the inside (of non-governmental organizations) significantly distorting reality.

...Nosko also spoke about Freedom House, which is well known in Hungary. It is worth quoting this passage verbatim. "- And then you can read things like Freedom House's democracy evaluation study called Nations in Transit. Their chapter on Slovakia was quite irritating. Instead of analysis, they practically wrote agitprop material. The bottom line is that when your friends are in government, the country does well. If your friends aren't in power, they won't do well. Then whatever they do, it's not good enough" ...
