For transparency and my own agenda, I, a white woman, strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, which governed Sweden for 8 years. In the last election, I voted for the current government.
In 2020, Sweden was governed by the Social Democrats and the Green Party, with Stefan Loefven as prime minister. This government considered that journalism is a profession whose mission is important for democracy, such as informing citizens, scrutinizing those in power and highlighting important social issues, that the then government chose to classify the profession as supporting society in the same year.
In preparation for this classification, the funding for the Swedish community-supporting media companies SVT, SR and UR was also changed. On 1 January 2019, the public service fee, which was then paid by people who chose to use a television and/or radio receiver to receive information from SVT, SR or UR, was replaced by a tax paid by everyone who is liable to pay taxes and meets certain income requirements in Sweden.
All media companies that consider themselves serious should have impartiality as their watchword, but for the Swedish public service companies it is a prerequisite for their right to exist, according to themselves.
With the revelation of the dishonest editing of Trump's speech in the BBC "documentary", Trump: A Second Chance, it has emerged that both the Swedish public service company SVT and the Norwegian public service company NRK did exactly the same thing. It was the Swedish politically independent online newspaper
Kvartal, which was founded in 2016 and focuses on social journalism, that revealed that SVT had similar dishonest editing to the BBC.
Of Trump's 90-minute long speech, SVT chooses to broadcast a 2-minute segment where they cut together 3 parts of the speech to broadcast to the Swedish public. Their intention in compiling the feature they chose to broadcast cannot be interpreted in any other way than that when Trump did not say what SVT's activist employees hoped for, they felt compelled to compose a feature of what they wished he had said.
This is strengthened by the fact that SVT edited its segment after Kvartal's disclosure, which was posted on their website on Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 12:25 p.m. On the same day at 1:51 p.m., a user on X, @evilbutterflier, downloaded the segment from SVT's website in its original format, where it is portrayed as Trump inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol. At 5:02 p.m. on the same day, SVT uploaded an edited segment with the addition of black boxes with (?!)... between each clip to clarify that their segment consists of different parts and not something Trump said in one piece.
That 3 public service companies, BBC, NRK and SVT, which operate in democratic countries and are also coercively financed to ensure their mission to provide their citizens with IMPARTIAL news, completely fail in their mission shows how enormous the infiltration of the left on socially important positions is today.
