lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, one of the accounts of the Hungarian press law, says that it prescribes ‘balanced coverage’, which sounds all right on the face of it. Another account says that it fines publications for violating ‘public interest, public morals or order’. Now these concepts do sound very vague, meaningless and therefore dangerous; almost as dangerous as concepts like xenophobia and racism, and whoever would think of legislating against them? However, before we cast stones at Hungary, let us look at the standards and broadcasting media in our own countries. The BBC, also known as the British Brainwashing Corporation, acts in contempt of its charter’s obligations of impartiality, and it excludes representatives of our own party, whilst giving gratuitously excessive publicity to the Establishment Safety Valve Party. Our party is significant enough to be attacked routinely, but not significant enough to be invited on the programmes. In 2006 it colluded with the government to trap our chairman into a jail."@en1
