Even Átlátszó admits: Fidesz won not because only its media reaches the people. "It's a silly stereotype that those who only get propaganda media in the countryside vote for Fidesz," Gábor Polyák, Mérték Media Analyst, told Átlátszó Workshop founder. 

In a long article, Átlátszó deals with the opposition's claim, which has come to the fore since the election, and the essence of which is that the two-thirds victory of Fidesz-KDNP on April 3 can be explained by the "predominance" of the conservative press.

Átlátszó writes in this regard: there are relatively few people who really only get one type of news source, this is not even typical of small towns.

It is a silly stereotype that those who vote for Fidesz are those who in the countryside only get access to the propaganda media and cannot access the Internet, so they have to print out the Internet"

- said Gábor Polyák, founder of the Mért Media Analysis Workshop, to Átlátszó. According to him, "it's actually a small group of people who only have access to one kind of media. There are many more people who are reached by the independent media, but they still accept the messages of the governing parties."

Opposite of countryside and city? Far from it!

According to Lakóhely, the difference between media consumption habits is not as great as many people think: in its 2020 research, Mérték Media Analyst measured how the attendance of each medium is distributed according to the types of settlement. According to the research, the difference is relatively small: for example, MTVA's viewership is highest in cities, while most of 24.hu's visitors come from rural towns and small towns. The same can be said about the ratings of TV2 and hvg.hu.

2022 Kiss:

We can add to this: the people living in the countryside reject the arrogance and contempt that the left constantly feeds in their statements. That they are uninformed, buyable, brainwashed. Let's not even talk about the rougher ones. I don't know what makes this company in the center of downtown Budapest, but with great economic and relational capital, so "anointed", in any case, people take a clear stand on their actions in the elections. Sorry: it's two-thirds of the fourth. Hello!
