Our journalist colleague was outraged by the scandalous behavior that Péter Magyar produced in the M1 studio. He voiced his indignation in the columns of Magyar Nemzet, and because we agree with him, we are also publishing his article.
Even by the most conservative estimates, I've been on the field for at least thirty years, but I've never seen anything like this. A politician has never presented such a mixture of role confusion, presumably indicating a mental disorder, conceit that looks down on everyone else, and knife-wielding violence in an interview situation, as Péter Magyar did in the public media on Thursday morning.
First of all, I would like to express my condolences to both presenters. None of them can be blamed for what happened, but it was thanks to their calmness and patience that the bigger scandal was avoided. The president of the Tisza Party has shown a behavior that does not deserve a response from a host that meets the basic expectations of the profession. It is not possible to behave as a calm, independent questioner with a subject who does not want to answer, but rather to recite the propaganda text of the learned and discredit the medium where he is sitting. And if the colleague leaves his role as host and slams the studio door on the heated barrel speaker, he lets his audience down and becomes similar to the intentional troublemaker. The most they could do was try to include the talking machine blaring anti-government hoaxes stolen from the Internet into the interview , let's face it, with little success.
The low point of the events is best characterized by the moment when Péter Magyar, instead of answering, tried to hold the host accountable for not imagining the conversation based on his line leader. And he even accused in a sly way that he knows for sure that the questions and answers of the prime minister's interviews are written in advance in the Carmelite. Besides him, everyone else is lying.
Let's nail this point down once and for all: there is no plausible explanation for this level of pervasive jerkiness.
No party leader can dictate the editorial practices of a medium, no matter how much his party's support. Péter Magyar may be offended by the fact that his propaganda is not flowing from every tap, but he cannot form the right to dictate how many times he is called in, and if he is called in, what to talk about with him. Anyone can consider the public media to be a propaganda factory, but if you want your own channel, from which compilations about your infallible greatness and the brain deadness of others flow twenty-four hours a day, then - quoting a classic - get yourself such a channel. It is also ridiculous that a man who a few months ago denied his political ambitions, now compares himself to the prime minister , is only willing to argue with him, and demands the same opportunities as the country's leader.
Someone explain to the self-proclaimed savior from his entourage that no matter what Gábor Török, who has suddenly been proclaimed the most outstanding political scientist, says, the political performance of the violent self-proclaimed man has been very poor so far. He did nothing but herd the Orbán-phobic groups, which until now formed the voting base of five or six left-liberal parties. But the hatred that now unites the Tisza sympathizers was whipped up by the said parties in the available voters against the government, the prime minister and everyone who belongs to the nationalistic, Christian, conservative, right-wing political community.
Péter Magyar is just using this disgusting political product, with which he wants to make people believe that he, riding on this wave of hatred, will sweep everyone away from the path on which he will bring us Canaan. But that does n't mean he even reaches the heel of Viktor Orbán's shoe, he can't demand the kind of treatment he dreams of in his agonizing solitude at night, imagining himself as prime minister.
civilek.info: I can't resist, although perhaps I shouldn't add a personal comment to the article. During my more than 40 years of radio operation - as the editor-presenter of Vasárnapi Újság - I interviewed Viktor Orbán many times, partly as an opposition politician and then as Prime Minister. Never, not once, has anyone prescribed to me what to ask and what not to ask him. So Petrovich Vengerský (I refuse to call him Hungarian) is lying if he claims that the course of an interview is determined in the Carmelite. However, based on what we have seen, we can confidently say that he would really dictate to reporters what they can and cannot ask about.
Try to tell the truth at least once, Peti Petrovich!
