I personally know multiple politicians who are members of the Jobbik. None of them want to burn Romas. None of them even blame them, they blame the government.
But fair's fair, I haven't personally been at any such demonstrations - but I'll bet you haven't been at any knife fights, either.
As to the media - after 25 years of marriage to a Hungarian, and now a year living in Budapest, my Hungarian still sucks. I can keep up my end of a conversation if I've had enough sleep and I can read text fine, but I usually have to ask my wife what any given news story is about. Most of my exposure to current events consists of her watching the news while I'm finishing up one job or another on the laptop. So I'm not 100% up to speed on detail.
The media here honestly seems less slanted than in the States, but that is a really vaguely anecdotal judgement. It would be nice if a study were actually possible, but such is the nature of media that it isn't, really.
You live in Budapest you say. That's an entirely different place then the rest of the country.
The amount of poverty and suffering people endure in the country side is almost unimaginable. Unfortunately I can imagine it because I grew up in it.
PS:
I have been at knife fights unfortunately. That can happen when you want to drink an orange juice in a pub here.
PS2:
How do you like the Hungarian language? I am a natural language geek. What do you think how does it sound? Any thoughts appreciated.
