    Honestly, it’s just such a deluge there will be cases that people just don’t have time to investigate.

    One of the reasons I cancelled my Private Eye membership was it just made me miserable reading about all the grifting, and the level of “No, I’m not doing anything” that anyone trying to combat it had to constantly fight through.

      As an avid reader of Hungarian domestic politics news, I can confirm that the deluge is a feature, not a bug. Having read the hundred thousandth article about the prime minister’s inner circle winning yet another tender, yet another government contract, monopoly over one more industry, most people get desensitised to the point that they zone out completely. What’s the point if there is no other lane but the VIP lane?
