       @eunews someone should tell hungary they're free to leave the EU.Media pluralism is *literally* what media freedom is. If you're against media pluralism, you're AGAINST media freedom, if anything

       @jhavok @eunews exactly, and I honestly loathe the way media is quoting him and thereby his propaganda, implying that there is somehow a difference between 'media pluralism' (which again *literally*, according to the dictionary, means media diversity/freedom), and 'media freedom', which is just his way of saying he should be allowed to dictate what's said.
