As Velazdasaj also wrote, Donald Trump will welcome Viktor Orban in Florida on Thursday, who will travel directly from the NATO summit to the official Republican presidential candidate's slow-moving tour.
A large part of the American press has been commenting sharply since the morning on the summit meeting between the Hungarian Prime Minister and the former US President (as now, and the next day too). But one of the largest American TV channels, MSNBC, stands out from all of them, as they spoke out, without exaggeration, against the meeting of politicians and the person of Viktor Orbán. Moreover, not just any show, and not just any person.
Who scolded Viktor Orban and where?
MSNBC’s influence on the American public is very strong. According to data from a few years ago, the channel was received in about 87 million households (90.7 percent of subscribers) in the United States. At the end of 2023, it became the second most-watched cable channel in the United States after Fox. What Fox is to Republicans, MSNBC is to Democrats: 95% of those who consume the channel’s content as their primary news source are Democrats. He claims to be sympathetic.
MSNBC makes no secret of its liberal views, and has done so for many years. It was surrounded by open discussion. The TV's liberal and democratic bias. It may all have to do with the channel's background, but it's also worth mentioning Joe Scarborough separately, because he was the one who used the most extreme tone when discussing the Trump-Orban meeting.
When it comes to how biased television is toward Democratic politics, a news show called Morning Joe, which airs weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m. on MSNBC, has played a big role. A high-profile content show, it attracted an average of more than a million viewers a day in May 2017. The scenario isn’t too complicated: Joe Scarborough discusses the day’s news with co-host Mika Brzezinski (whom he married in November 2018).
Joe Scarborough is an outspoken Republican politician and attorney. Time Magazine In 2011, he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Scarborough’s “power” has not diminished since, at least in 2023. Morning Joe was the number one morning TV show in New York and Washington, D.C., and it’s understandable that Joe Biden watches it too. Just because the media personality is a vocal critic of Donald Trump.
