Rothermere strongly supported revision of the Treaty of Trianon in favour of Hungary, to the extent that he was offered the Hungarian Crown in 1927.
In later life Rothermere used his newspaper ownership in attempts to influence British politics, notably being a strong supporter of appeasement towards Nazi Germany, in part - it is thought - because of a shattering experience during WWI when he had three sons reported killed or missing in the same week.
The Rothermere papers for a time in 1934 championed the British Union of Fascists (B.U.F), and were again the only major papers that did so.

 Who was Viscount Rothermere and why did he become a controversial ... - BlurtIt
Viscount Rothermere (1868-1940), also known as Harold Sidney Harmsworth had become somewhat of a media giant in Britain by 1922, owning a number of newspapers, including the Sunday Pictoral, the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror.
Rothermere's friendly relationship with fascist leaders during the 1920s and 1930s, his own fascination with fascist ideology, coupled with his strong belief in the appeasement of Adolf Hitler, made him a highly controversial figure in Great Britain.
From 1927 onwards, Rothermere attempted to persuade Britain to demonstrate solidarity with Hungary in redressing the wrongs of the Treaty of Trianon.

 Independent, The (London): THE INTERVIEW: VISCOUNT ROTHERMERE - The Lord of Middle England
Before he had turned 30, Lord Rothermere had become one of the richest men in Britain, worth an estimated pounds 800m; the youngest chairman of a FTSE 100 company; and the custodian of the Daily Mail, one of the most distinctive media institutions in the UK, loved and hated in equal measure.
Those values, notes Rothermere (a family man with four children), include the belief that the heart of any decent society is the family unit and that it is better for children to be brought up by a man and a woman.
Rothermere, who worked as a sub-editor and reporter on the Sunday Mail in Scotland (a page-three lead was his best effort) in preparation for his "destiny", does none of these things.
