In its morning program Hungarian RTL Klub hosted a debate between Károly Sáringer and skeptic István Vágó about whether it is appropriate stepping up against charlatans using legal actions. Sáringer, who is a healer agreed on checking his power under controlled conditions. During the night show on the same channel the same topic was covered and Saringer had already tried to slip out of the testing.

We launched the blog of the Hungarian Skeptic Society - of course in Hungarian. The main reason in starting a blog was to give an opportunity to those not familiar with skeptical issues and those standing on the other side to communicate to us on various hot topics. 
In the second half of 2006, we decided to bring together people working alone or in isolated groups, who share a liking for critical thinking and have published their work on the internet or been active in various other media more or less regularly. On 15 December 2006, the Hungarian Skeptic Society was founded and its by-laws accepted by its 19 founding members.
