Origo (stylised as ORIGO, previously as [origo]) is a major Hungarian-language news website founded in 1998 by telecommunications company MATÁV. In 2018, Origo was the third most visited Hungarian website.[1] Since 2015, Origo has been regularly criticised for its uncritical support of the Fidesz political party[2] and regularly spreading fake news.[3][4][5][6] Some critics describe the website as "state-run propaganda".[7][8][9]
