Socialists To Boycott ‘Fidesz Media’, Says Press Chief
Representatives of the opposition Socialists will boycott media outlets “serving the ruling Fidesz party” and communicate only with the independent Hungarian media, the party’s press chief said.

The outlets listed by István Nyakó include public television news channel M1, commercial channels Tv2 and Echo Tv, the Magyar Idők and Magyar Hirlap dailies, free distribution daily Lokál, as well as news portals origo. hu, Pestisracok.hu and 888.hu.

These outlets “acquired by Fidesz people with taxpayers’ money” and supported with state funds present “an idealistic reality” while repeatedly distort statements by opposition politicians, Nyakó told a press conference.
