Extremely biased interview between Stephen Sackur (HARDTALK) and Zoltán Kovács (with HUN caption)

[@maralphayer501]

This guy has lost all respect because in every interview he does he is already taken a side and not ready to listen .

[@rawlstonpompey]

ADMIRABLE RESPONSES: The responses by this '...Hungarian Representative,' can only be described as '...Admirable.' As if he knew when '...Stephen Sackur' was going to deliver a short-pitched ball, he appeared '...well-positioned to hook him over the boundary line.' He has acquitted himself exceedingly well, and has done his country good.' Liked his description '...political lynching; and '...Glad those words came from your mouth; ...would have bee rude if they came from my mouth;' ...Alice in wonderland politics.' Real '...HARDtalk.' Enjoyed the interaction.

Its a british cultural attitude to ask and not listen. For example: how do you do? Try to answer them and they will be insulted 😄

All political parties are required to donate 15% of their current account cash to the Hungarian Emergency Response Fund, so as to fight the crisis ! This is in fact a very good measure we should apply in Belgium !!!!! Globalists should stop lynching Hungary !!!!

[@bozhoujin5925]

I came in to hear the “don’t use double standards line” Always applicable.

"Let me stop you right there. Who determines the end of the pandemic emergency" He just answered his own question hahaha

[@peterlimkk]

I find most of his interviews are based n conducted through his blinkered view, from the outside looking in. Instead of the realities on the ground.

[@Ultre]

I think a lot of you are missing the point of HARDtalk. The guests are there to defend their own beliefs against aggressive, accusatory, biased questioning. Sackur's questions are not indicative of his own bias. His questions are supposed to be positioned as a diametric opposite to whoever he's interviewing. You are free to the opinion that this style of interview is unhelpful or dishonest, but the aggressive questioning is literally the point. 'HARD' talk.

He didn't ask any question. He stated false informations and half truths as facts, then asked the minister to defend or deny those statements. That's not journalism, that's activism.

[@Ultre]

@@neretilderem7029 His job is to impersonate activists and to force the interviewee to defend against bullshit questions. He's stating false information and half-truths on purpose, to see how the interviewee responds. This is the exact point of the program

[@laszlopeteri3801]

Remekül megválaszolt Kovács Zoltán ennek az igen ellenséges riporternek. Nagytudású gyors észjárású és rendkívül tájékozott, mint az Orbán kormány többi tagja. Elmondhatjuk, hogy nincs rés a pajzson. Öröm volt hallgatni ahogy Kovács úr felmosta a padlót ezzel az egyáltalán nem semleges riporterrel.

One year old video. So, what about the truth? These kind of missleading contents should be reviewed and should take affects on carrier of these kind of media workers. Or it is natural that they can continue their lies and live happily after?

Well said Mr Zoltan Kovacs. Stephan Sacker biased BBC Agenda has been rumbled again and to see Mr Kovac holding his own and even bettering Stephan Sackers critical allegations in a language which is not his own was great to see.

[@JoopSchooven]

How many people came for here 21:56?

[@jothijs18]

Again no real interview but only leftist politics by the interviewer. Sad.

[@csabaszabo5349]

Did you guys notice the Great Hungary (*"Nagy Magyarorszag") map in Kovacs's background? ... for those who don't know the history... this WAS the territory of Hungary BEFORE the World Wars. It is currently used as a far-right nationalist symbol in Hungary. Lots of Hungarians maintain the desire to re-gain those 'lost' territories which still have significant Hungarian ethnic populations... like Transylvania (currently part of Romania). But as far as we know this is not the official policy of the Hungarian government (at least it has not been declared as such).

[@lelandbowman6764]

Many apparently don t get the point of this show. The moderator challenges his guests to answer tough, uncomfortable questions. What's important are the answers to these questions and how the quest handles them. More like a debate. If you sympathize with the guest it must be painful to you that someone would dare treat them in such a manner...but guests know what is in store for them and willingly sign on to be a guest......for some reason.

[@novadrian]

Most comments here show a lack of understanding of Hardtalk's premise. The role of the presenter is to play "devil's advocate" and be contentious...on purpose, instead of showing the deference and respect (more likely fear) you might be more accustomed to in more authoritarian countries.

[@benzheinz9302]

He did mot seem yo listen to his explanations either? Ok I dont want to see warcof any kind either. But people like bbc s Hardtalk and others are fueling folks decisions in a very dangerous way.

[@small_things5291]

This interview is showing exactly how the Hungarian officials are not answering questions put in front of them by the journalist if the questions are reflecting other views than those the Hungarian government. Kovacs is behaving as if it was a press conference - no answers, only statements. The line of the argument - don't listen to the voices coming from Hungary and EU institutions, listen to what the government says.

Revealing interview. It's not biased, it's critical, (Hard talk, da). It's funny how every critical voice, even a simple question triggers an anti-leftist anti-liberal reaction in autocratic regimes, Orban's, Trump's or Putin's. These autocrats, or tyrants if you will, play the exact same tune: Us vs Them
