Politics

Earlier this week, parts of Hungary’s state media were supended. In his election campaign, Peter Magyar – who was voted into office in April – vowed to deal with his predecessor’s “factory of lies”. Instead of the usual programming, viewers were shown a simple message that read: “Public media should not lie. We are sorry for doing it for so long.” [The Guardian]
