The two similar media wars during the right-wing governments in Hungary, one I read of during the previous right-wing government in Poland, and just two days ago, a right-wing papers' chief editor was complaining about a supposed right-wing underrepresentation in the press due to foreign ownership of (nominally centre-left) media.

An analogous event to the one Marek told about from the time of the Second Media War: Magyar Nemzet (=Hungarian Nation) was the top right-wing daily, it was respected as fairly independent and with a long tradition. Fidesz's business circle owned Napi Magyarország, taunted Napi Maó (=Daily Mao), which was a Maoist paper during the dictatorship, because it was an uncritical propaganda paper. Editors included far-right figures¹. Then one day, in a shady deal helped by the government, the owners of Napi Maó took over Magyar Nemzet, and "merged" the two - which essentially meant that the editors of the former worked on under the title of the latter. (It remains the pro-Fidesz daily to this day.)
