       @stux *nerd alert* theoretically, you cannot close a state media. As per european legislation and the fact that hungary is a member of the ebu, they *must* have a public service radio and television. Exceptions are luxembourg (where rtl fulfils the role) monaco (where they don't have radio) and a lot more small states. The most he can do is a reform, but there will still be remnants of the propaganda, so we should take with a grain of salt the independece of the new state tv.The best he could do is a greece 2013, where he fires everyone from the state tv and then for about a year rebuilds it from the ground up (greece didn't really do that, they closed it and then recreated it with new personnel and boadd members). But that would probably also mean a need for applying again for ebu membership, which blocks international news from being relayed to the state tv and theoretically killing the reformed tv from the start.I'm not saying he shouldn't do that, I have all the public tv channels in hungary at home cause of the large population of hungarians in my country and with a bit of translation magic, they were really kissing up putin's ass...
