In Sweden, many journalists within the state-owned Swedish television (SVT) and the state-owned Swedish radio (SR) have ideological sympathies to the left and this has affected the coverage. This is what the well-known investigative journalist and former SVT employee Janne Josefsson says when he is interviewed in Hotspot. Janne Josefsson says quote "People are often right in their criticism that we are one-sided" unquote.
In addition to affecting coverage, it also affects how journalists follow up or rather refrain from following up on claims made by politicians from the Social Democrats, the Green Party and the Left Party. This has resulted in politicians and legacy media journalists becoming so accustomed to being able to write and tell blatant lies without being questioned that when they do the same thing on X and their posts are marked with a community notice, they become completely hysterical and make wild accusations.
Earlier this week, a post by the Social Democratic party leader Magdalena Andersson was marked with a community notes, whereupon the political editor-in-chief of one of our newspapers, Anders Lindberg, quickly came to Magdalena Andersson's defense. Even his posts were even marked with a community notes.
I'm guessing that all the "threats" from left-wing politicians and journalists to leave X are because they can't get away with lies on that platform. If they just stuck to the truth, they wouldn't be marked by community's notes.
