RTL is a Celeb, get out of here! Balázsé Sebestyén mocked and humiliated a Colombian boy in his live broadcast on Tuesday evening. In response to what happened, RTL Hungary issued a statement a few days later, in which they announced that they could not identify with what was said in any way and apologized to the boy and all viewers who felt the scene was hurtful. The National Media and Communications Authority is also investigating.
We consider it blood-curdling that a left-wing commercial channel, since its birth, has been increasing its wealth through torture, humiliation and voyeurism - stressed the Hungarian National Media Association in its statement sent to the Magyar Nemzet, which was saddened to learn that the RTL presenter humiliated a Colombian boy on live broadcast.
And it is particularly repulsive that, while they make huge financial gains from the humiliation of children, in their news channel they call it political pedophilia if they hand over a renovated kindergarten in the presence of children." they added.
At the same time, the MNMSZ pointed out:
"In this story, the presenter is not only and not primarily to blame. He is chosen by the channel's creatives, after a thorough search, because they think he is the most suitable for this show. And the creatives are appointed by the channel's management because they are considered the most suitable to implement the program policy, thanks to which the commercial channel gains viewership and its owners gain income."
So the presenter fulfills what is expected of him, if he doesn't, then someone else will do it for him." - underlined. According to the media association, it is also outrageous that the Mónika Show, which has been repeatedly punished by the media authorities, is still being repeated on their cable channels. And soon they will be able to delight their viewers with another Real World again, they write.
According to the Hungarian National Media Association, in this situation, a terse statement issued by the channel after four days is not enough, and it is not enough to refer to an apology and apologize in a few words. They believe that
the management of the channel should finally think about how long the left-wing media magnates can make a profit from ever-increasing misery and humiliation with continuously decreasing viewership and how long they want to build a television on lies, hysteria and humiliation."
"Until then, however, the entire journalism profession must make its voice heard so that such and similar cases do not remain without appropriate consequences. That is why the MNMSZ calls on all journalists to distance themselves from RTL and calls on the MÚOSZ to launch an ethical investigation, and the channel to immediately stop its program based on humiliating people." - they highlight.
