Majority Of Swedes Think Media Lies About The Impact Of Mass Migration
Breitbart ^ | 5-29-2017 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 05/30/2017 1:42:28 PM PDT by blam

The majority of people in Sweden believe the media is dishonest about problems in society associated with mass migration, according to research presented by the nation’s Institute of Media Studies.

The institute’s new book Mistrust of the Media, presented at a seminar on Monday, details that whilst confidence in the media is relatively high, Swedes are sceptical of reports on issues connected with immigration.

Fifty-four per cent of respondents agreed with the statement: “The Swedish media doesn’t tell the truth about social problems associated with immigration,” whilst only 27 per cent said they disagreed.

Confidence was also low with regards to the media’s handling of crime, and reporting on healthcare issues garnered the greatest amount of trust.

Politics play a part in regards to public confidence in the media, with the institute reporting that “almost all” respondents who vote for the populist Sweden Democrats (SD) party believe the media is not giving the full picture on migration.

By contrast, people who support Sweden’s ruling Red-Green coalition have the most trust in the nation’s media. Confidence is lower amongst supporters of the liberal conservative Moderate party.

Writing in Dagens Nyheter, the Institute of Media Studies director Lars Truedson argues “a serious discussion is needed about the attitude of journalists and the media on immigration reporting”.

Warning the profession’s credibility is in tatters on the issue, the veteran journalist urged writers and editors to give a more honest picture of how mass migration has affected Sweden.

And yet, nothing changes.

Europeans are very skilled at living with their own cognitive dissonance

Of course in Sweden you’re not allowed to know too much, because that’s “racist”, a punishable offense. The media can only report so much. As far as your thinking is allowed to go, all migrants are peaceful, culturally advanced people.

Sweden’s media can hardly be as biased and extremely partisan as the U.S. media is.

but they’re working on it

Swedish Television was owned by the Swedish Government completely until 1987. Swedish radio was dominated by the government until the 1990s.

It appears that commercial broadcasts are making an impact

Media in Sweden is often criticized[by whom?] of being biased towards the political left. The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication (JMG) at Gothenburg University has conducted yearly surveys regarding their political party sympathies among the members of the Swedish Union of Journalists (Swedish: Journalistförbundet), the largest trade union organizing journalists in Sweden. A survey, conducted in late 1999, has shown a significant higher percentage of support for the centre-left political parties (mainly the Left Party and the Green Party) compared to these parties’ support amongst the general Swedish population.[3] 31 percent of the journalists favoured the Left Party, compared to 15 percent of the general population.

Little slow on the draw, aren’t they? And they still haven’t figured out their government has sold them out yet either?

This is actually encouraging. The media, ours and theirs, have assured us that 99.99% of Swedes fully support the genocide of white Swedes being perpetrated by their communist politicians.

54% of a population would be a hassle to exterminate if they decided to resist.

I with worked some Swedes from Alpha-Laval when I worked for GE in the early 1970s. I made $12,000 a year as a tech.

These people made $8500 a year as very skilled Engineers, some lived with their parents so that they and their wives could save for a home.
