Breitbart: Zoltán Kovács, official spokesman for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has responded to accusations of wrongdoing by “ivory tower” editors at The New York Times by saying that they “just don’t get” the European migrant crisis.
The newspaper’s editorial board claimed that Prime Minister Orbán was “playing the European Union for a patsy” on 13 March, urging the bloc’s central authorities to take action against his government.
“It’s easy to be charmed by the human rights nonsense when you’re penning editorials from an office in Midtown Manhattan,” replied Kovács on an official government blog post. “But we’re running a government responsible for the safety and security of our citizens – as well as the citizens of Europe – on the front lines of this crisis, and we see this struggle differently.” read more

As the lawyers say, a farmer’s reaction to a runaway bull depends on whose ox is getting gored.
Perhaps Kovács should tell The New York Times that in his opinion, their recent downturn in circulation numbers is actually a good thing, since it will allow them to downsize and thus become a “leaner and meaner” corporation.
Maybe that will put things in perspective and help NYT more fully empathize with his situation.
Ya think?

How is what happens in Hungary ANY of the NYTimes business?
Anything that happens anywhere in the world is a newspaper’s business. At least as far as editorials go.
Right?
Take a few more floors off the top Pinch.
The Hungarians were much more civil than I could have been.
Especially considering the fact that the NYT supported Stalin and his crimes against humanity all across Easter Europe and in the vivisected (former) Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Speaking of which, it will be Easter in Europe pretty soon now.
