Due to disregarding the basic rules of the profession, the Hungarian National Media Association demands that Dull Szabolcs, editor-in-chief of Telex, leave his position with immediate effect. And international journalistic organizations are asked to distance themselves from websites that do not comply with the basic rules of journalistic ethics.
The Hungarian National Media Association considers the falsification of news, which various IT analyzes make increasingly clear and undeniable, unacceptable, inadmissible and outrageous. Namely, that the Telex news portal broke all ethical rules and spread false news about the alleged mail ballots allegedly burned in Transylvania - wrote the Hungarian National Media Association in its statement sent to the Hungarian Nation . They stated that they consider it outrageous and strongly condemn falsification of news, for whatever reason, and call on editor-in-chief Dull Szabolcs to take the consequences: apologize and resign.
At the same time, they call on the election observers in Hungary to, in view of the latest developments, immediately carry out an international validation study of the IT analyzes published in the Hungarian press, and international journalistic organizations are asked to distance themselves from websites that do not even comply with the basic rules of journalistic ethics. . The paper recalls: the left-wing news portal published the sensationalist fake news that half-burnt ballot papers - of course containing votes for the left - were found in Transylvania. As a result of the most recently published IT analyses, it became clear that the "news" could have been prepared in February, or even in January, according to some experts' opinions, at Telex, whose editor-in-chief first referred to a technical error, but now it has become clear: he lied. After the article was sharpened this week, Ferenc Gyurcsány, Péter Márki-Zay and Gergely Karácsony also posted about election fraud.
