Was it a good interview? Or is Tucker just jerking off to ratings? How long until Orban comes on the Twitter show? Never.

Like I said it was a good interview. Did you watch it, and do you have some criticism, other than conservative values I mentioned in my last post?

You just illustrated exactly whats wrong with tucker carlson. He got you to belive that a literal tyrant is just some democrat boogeyman and poor Orban just believes in family values and anti wokeness. He also believes in government censorship for all transmissions video,audio,internet articles, air waves everything, no freedom of speech, no freedom of press and a 10 year long reign so far. You're saying as a freedom loving American that anything he says In that interview means a damn thing when he's a tyrant?

For more than 10 years, Viktor Orbán and his cronies have ruled Hungary. Since his election in 2010, Orbán has slowly but steadily dismantled every democratic institution in Hungary. The constitution, the judiciary, the free press, and the municipal councils have been reorganized to serve the political and business interests of Orbán and his inner circle. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a rubber-stamp parliament gave Orbán the power to rule by decree, effectively eliminating the last vestiges of oversight, as explained by Péter Krekó at HRF’s COVIDCon last year. Eleven months later, Orbán still rules without the consent of the people. And yet, a successful local election in 2019 and an agreement between the six largest opposition parties at the end of last year has reinvigorated the opposition and provided a new hope for democracy and the rule of law.
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) classifies Hungary as a “competitive authoritarian” regime, and Freedom House lists it as a “hybrid regime,” meaning that while the trappings of democracy still exist, the opposition faces an uneven playing field that significantly impedes democratic challenges to the incumbent government. Indeed, for many years, voter suppression tactics, gerrymandering, and changes to Hungary’s electoral law marginalized the opposition, giving Orbán’s party, Fidesz, a constitutional majority in parliament, and enabled the restructuring of the state to suit Orbán’s needs. In any election under a competitive authoritarian regime, the playing field is skewed in favor of the ruling party. In Hungary, the opposition has to contend with a particularly vicious cycle of media censorship and government corruption, enabled by Orbán’s disregard for the rule of law.
Orbán has made it a priority to ensure that the airwaves, printing presses, and internet forums are saturated with government-friendly media, making the lack of media pluralism in the country one of the most difficult challenges for the opposition. Since 2013, Hungary’s press freedom ranking has dropped dramatically from 53rd to 89th in Reporters Without Borders’ Press Freedom Index. In 2019, the International Press Institute estimated that 80% of the Hungarian media market was funded by government sources, but even since then, the situation has continued to deteriorate.
The largest independent online newspaper, index.hu, which had a readership of over 1 million, was bought out by a businessman linked to Viktor Orbán at the end of 2019, leading to the resignation of the Editor-in-Chief and over 70 other staff members. Most recently, in February 2021, a Hungarian court upheld the decision of a media council filled with Fidesz appointees to suspend Klubradio, the largest independent radio station with over 300,000 listeners, for minor administrative violations. Klubradio had been highly critical of the Orbán regime, and had already lost 90% of its advertising income after businesses and government agencies withdrew their support for the radio station.
László Gendler, an associate at the Office of the Mayor of Budapest, described the media culture in Hungary as “completely one-sided.” Indeed, there is hardly a single newspaper, radio, or TV station that is not friendly to the regime. And as with index.hu, even online sources are becoming scarce. This enables Orbán to hide corruption on a scale unimaginable in other EU countries. Hungary’s richest man and a childhood friend of Orbán, Lőrinc Mészáros, once quipped that he has “God, luck, and Viktor Orbán” to thank for his vast new fortune, accumulated mostly through favorable government contracts. “It’s a cycle of corruption,” explains Gendler. “The wealthier Orbán’s friends become, the more independent media they buy. And the less independent the media, the less people know about the corruption.”

And you just illustrated exactly what's wrong with the mainstream news.
They say that about anyone that doesn't suck US cock and obey US leaders.
What do you know about Hungary/Orban? Have you been there and spoken with the local people? I've heard the same about Russia, but when I travelled there I saw protests against Putin, and some of the news stations were even bashing him. Not the censorship the mainstream media told me Russia had.
As Glenn Greenwald said:

did everyone suddenly decide to start feigning deep knowledge about Hungary and begin talking about it all because Tucker Carlson traveled there? Is it now considered immoral or something for journalists to visit other countries to report on what they see and hear there?

Did you watch Tucker in Hungary? Did you actually hear what he said? He was pandering away about bullet holes in buildings, effectively saying American's don't study history because they don't have enough history around them to do so. Now, I am no history expert, but I tend to think Tucker isn't either. Especially given his long history of bullshit and lies.

No. I'm saying certain human rights organizations do what the billionaires who fund them want.

Okay let's look at all prominent human rights organizations and see what we find.
So the one I posted is the Human rights foundation
Human rights watch https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2021/country-chapters/hungary
Amnesty.org: https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/europe-and-central-asia/hungary/report-hungary/
Every organization I've found has echoed the first example I gave.
