A good result with fake news

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party. Politically, I am very far from the Swedish Social Democrats, their partner parties, communism and socialism.

A positive consequence of all fake news is that biased news has also begun to receive attention in recent years. Without fake and biased news, we might not have received Community Notes on X.

As an example of biased news, in a debate in the Parliament between the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and the Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson on November 15, 2023,  Magdalena Andersson gave an incendiary speech in defense of her party colleague Jamal El-Haj, who was accused of supporting the terrorist organization Hamas.

On February 9, 2024, barely 3 months after Magdalena Andersson's defense speech in the Parliament, the Social Democrats and Magdalena Andersson had lost confidence in Jamal El-Haj and he was asked to leave the party and his seat in Parliament. On February 12, 2024, Jamal El-Haj announced his resignation from the Social Democrats but retained his seat in parliament, thus becoming a so-called political savage (independent member of parliament).

Neither SVT nor SR has so far questioned Magdalena Andersson about her incendiary speech in defense on November 15, 2023. The Swedish public service broadcasters, SVT and SR, too often fail in their mission to be impartial in their news reports.

Without the debate and Jamal El-Haj's resignation, we might not have had the web-based TV channel and media platform named 100%, which launched on November 15, 2025. According to one of the founders, Henrik Joensson, the platform was a direct result of Magdalena Andersson's verbal attack on him on February 15, 2024 when she questioned who funded his YouTube channel and implied that his content could be part of foreign (e.g. Russian) influence or propaganda.

Without alternative media, I would never have understood exactly how often and to what extent the public service companies, SVT and SR like the BBC, fail in their missions.

My prediction below about AI requires a rough generalization of two different personalities, bookworms and troublemakers. One area that all ...
