S2 Ep1032: Tony Blinken: America Alone

Yeah. So, I mean, there's something to learn there, I think, in the U.S. as well, right? How do we frame these issues so that it doesn't feel like, you know, the libs are too woke, but it's like, no, no, an attack on one is an attack on all.

Over and over again, that has to be the line. It has to be a broader context. And Martin Tomposh, that opposition player that I spoke to, was like, the Democrats have made this stuff too narrow and too siloed. It needs to be bigger.

I gotta say, and I'm obviously, I'm a little bit biased in terms of my interests, but the way Orban consolidated the media and cracked down on the fourth estate is, first of all, he was so successful, right? He basically had his friends and allies buy up all the newspapers, all the media outlets, all the editorial outlets that were once, you know, real robust journalistic endeavors.

Like the New York Times of Hungary was purchased and then shut down within a several week period. But there is a real robust independent media landscape in Hungary. And these guys are reporting on real shit. They're reporting about corruption. They're doing exposés on the son-in-law, Orban's son-in-law, who... Oh, the son-in-law thing is a thing that's universal, I guess.

Hotel and tourism industry. And they're doing it and they're so tenacious. And I said, do you ever wonder why you're still doing this given... how much money the state funnels into state propaganda in the form of these news outlets, just the steel, what is the metaphor, the iron fist with which Orban and his allies sort of censor and rule the national media.

And they said, you know, we're doing this because this is, they believe in democracy, they believe in the fight. And it was so inspiring.

There's so much of an appetite for information.
