Does not believe in independent journalism, yet Fidesz nominated Attila Császár to the Independent Media Council
Attila Császár, a former reporter for M1, was nominated by Fidesz for the Independent Media Council, but his candidacy was not supported by the Cultural Committee. During his hearing, he expressed skepticism about the existence of independent journalism and acknowledged his own biases. He argued that media operates under political and economic influences and suggested that the term 'Independent Media Council' is exaggerated, preferring 'national council' instead. Despite his views, he emphasized the importance of representing both sides in news coverage. The committee ultimately voted against his nomination, while Koncz Attila received support for his candidacy. The council oversees public media operations and protects its independence.
