Trump has learned from Orban.

Orban formed the “National Media and Communications Authority to impose heavy fines for coverage it considered unbalanced or offensive.” This is the equivalent of our FCC .

You’ll be staggered when you read this great post by TeeDixie👇🏼👌🏼

It shows how effective the media has been, in painting labour as a shit show in Govt, and glossing over how terrible the Tories were

TeeDixie 📎 @teedixie.bsky.social · 6d

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.

I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only
2 were delivered in 5 years.
Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).
In 1 year.

“I’m not some sort of blind slave to the president, and I don’t think anyone should be,” Greene said to NBC, adding, “I’m elected by my district. That’s who I work for, and I got elected without the president’s endorsement, and, you know, I think that has served me really well.”
