Study Finds UK Media Pro-Brexit | Hungary To Vote On EU Migrant Quotas

New research conducted by the Reuters Institute claims to have shed light on press coverage in the UK prior to June’s Brexit vote, noting a considerable bias towards the Leave campaign; and in just over a week Hungary will vote on whether to adopt the EU’s migrant quota policies.

A study by the Reuters Institute noted a considerable bias towards the Leave campaign amid the UK press in the run up to June’s referendum — with 41% of articles favoring a Brexit, compared with just 27% in favor of the UK remaining inside the EU. One of the notable findings in this survey, was the extent to which the current Prime Minister Theresa May was cited in the run up to the vote — that is to say, not much… We speak to Labour MEP, Richard Corbett.

Hungarian citizens will be casting their vote in just over a week on whether or not the Eastern European nation will adopt the European Union's new refugee resettlement scheme.  But are the Hungarian government’s proposals even legal within the framework of the EU and could this spark further Euro-scepticism? We speak to Peter Ungar from the Hungarian Green Party.
