Magyar has often criticized the work of the public broadcaster, which did not host him even once during the pre-election campaign, despite polls that placed his party Tisza ahead of the soon-to-be former Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz. When he finally appeared as a guest, Magyar immediately harshly criticized the work of this public broadcaster and announced that a reorganization would take place to restore, as he stated, the standards of professionalism and objective reporting. Magyar went even further in his criticisms, comparing the work of the public broadcaster during Orban's rule to totalitarian regimes both now and in the past. "We know there is no perfect media, but what has been happening here since 2010, after which even (Joseph) Goebbels or a North Korean dictator would lick their fingers, where not a single truth has been spoken, that is certain, and it cannot continue," he said. He also called the public broadcaster a "factory of lies," a "false circus," a "false news service," and a "propaganda service."
