There are some media commentators who are concerned that US democracy, and the media that monitors it, are going the way of Hungary. There, democracy was not overthrown by tanks in the streets, mass arrests or paramilitary violence. The country's leader, Viktor Orban, stacked the courts with loyalists, aggressively opposed migrants and LGBTQ+ rights and redrew electoral boundaries. Media outlets were censored, and wealthy people close to Orban bought up media organizations. The World's Europe correspondent Orla Barry takes a look at the comparisons.
