Yeah, my wife's Hungarian, and we're coming to Budapest this summer (and maybe staying; she still hasn't decided), so we follow this stuff. Orbán is trying to do everything at once and doing most of it wrong, and I really don't like his media policy. But come on - you don't need media to communicate in Budapest; everybody knows what's going on - because of the jokes they tell each other, if nothing else.
But if a radio show of this nature were shut down in America, most people wouldn't even notice. The media never criticize the people in power here, because the people in power simply own them outright. And by "people in power", of course, I don't mean the government. That hasn't been true for a long time.
In Hungary, this government has been really pushy (of course, the last government was far more corrupt), but Hungarians actually care about that.
Anyway, you don't need to worry, because my wife is going to be there in May and I'd hate to be in Orbán's shoes when she gets off the plane.
