Majority of Swedes Think Media Lies About the Impact of Mass Migration

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.

Amongst concerns expressed by Truedson is that journalists are “excessive” in paying attention to press ethics guidelines not to emphasise a subject’s “ethnic origin, nationality, occupation, political affiliation, religious beliefs or sexual orientation” if it is irrelevant to a story.

The mainstream media in Sweden has been accused of habitual censorship: photographs of migrant criminal suspects are routinely pixelated, with even their skin tones changed, in order to hide the extent of migrant crime.

Swedish police with new strategy - drop investigating serious crimes

Swedish police with new strategy - drop investigating serious crimes

Investigators have been ordered to investigate traffic violations instead of other more serious crimes, as "Project Alcatraz" has been launched. Police now fear even more crime.

Swedish police are becoming less able to solve crimes, which is becoming an embarrassment for the national police chief, Dan Eliasson, who apparently now fears for his job.

There is growing internal criticism against the police management, which is believed to engage in a "pinnjakt" to keep Eliasson as the national police chief, writes DN.

The National Police in Stockholm, this week launched "Project Alcatraz," which goal is to increase the percentage of solved crimes. Critics, however, argue that the project is just a "pinnjakt" that encourages officers to focus on the simple crimes like drugs, fraud and driving offenses, in order to improve the statistics.

- The sole purpose is to deliver positive figures, so that the Chief of Police Dan Eliasson doesn't lose his job, says an experienced investigator to DN.

The investigator has been ordered that from now on to investigate traffic violations instead of more serious crime.

According to police officers who have talked to DN, many serious crimes are now put aside, and only murder investigations remain unaffected.

A "pinnjakt," was described to Aftonbladet by Sofia, who works as a policewoman in Stockholm. She says that planned interventions are often cancelled in favor of a "pinnjakt."

- In my area, we have such great problems with pickpocketing. It is also what the public often wants us to work on and stop. But we can not work on that, because the National Police Agency's goals are to be met. It is extremely frustrating, she said.

To reach these goals, police officers are also encouraged to "be creative". Thirty cannabis plants seized, may for example be entered as thirty cases of drug offenses.

Last year there were reported 170,359 violent crimes in Sweden, an increase of 4.4 percent compared with the year before.

At the same time, the number of violent crimes solved by the police and reported to prosecutors was 19,052 last year, a decrease of 6.3 percent compared to 2015.

For all offenses, the number of crimes reported to prosecution, was reduced by as much as ten percent. That is a negative trend that police desperately want to reverse.

But police now fear that the "pinnjakt," ordered by the head of police and the police management, will instead lead to increased crime, as they do not get the resources to follow up on reconnaissance and investigation of criminal groups suspected of planning (more) crimes.

That Dan Eliasson never was a cop, yet he was put in charge of the whole thing, increasingly shows.

Swedish municipality fires CEO after interview

Swedish municipality fires CEO after interview

Speaking on the integration of newly arrived asylum seekers, he said that there are not enough ethnic Swedes in Sweden. Sacked.

Robert Odeberger must quit as CEO of the municipally-owned Hörbybostäder, reports Expressen.

According to Councillor Susanne Meijer, his former political statements are against the municipality's core values.

Robert Odeberger, CFO of the municipality, must immediately resign as CEO of the municipally-owned housing company Hörbybostäder, according to a press release.

According to Susanne Meijer, the statement that was too much for the municipality came in an interview with Expressen's Kvällsposten, where Hörby municipality's basic values ​​of equality for all people, apparently were severely broken when he said that there are not enough ethnic Swedes in Sweden.

- If Sweden had 50 million ethnic Swedes, there would not have been any worries. But we are not that many, said Robert Odeberger, speaking on the integration of newly arrived asylum seekers from the Middle East and Africa.

Now the rabid Swedish racist may not represent the municipality in contexts that are not economic.

- He'll only work on issues that have a direct economic nature, where we have full confidence in him. It would be inappropriate to allow a person who so clearly has spoken out against what Hörby Municipality stands for, to continue to represent us, Susanne Meijer said.

Robert Odeberger has already apologized for his highly logical statement that cost him a CEO position:

- I expressed myself in a way I should not have done, and the issues are not my responsibility. I am aware that I expressed political opinions that I should not have done in my professional capacity. I am also well aware that what I said is contrary both to Hörby municipality's political decisions and official standing.

SWEDEN - The goal is to humanise the terrorist, so to speak

SWEDEN - The goal is to humanise the terrorist, so to speak

UNREAL SWEDEN: Gothenburg City Theatre is now performing the play "Jihadisten" (the jihadist) - to better understand ISIS terrorists.

With the play "Jihadisten," visitors to the Gothenburg City Theatre may now get a more nuanced picture of the Swedish IS terrorists who are traveling to Iraq and Syria to participate in the ongoing war.

During Wednesday night, the theatrical play "Jihadisten" (the jihadist) premiered at the Gothenburg City Theatre. The play is about what happens to young people in Sweden when they are radicalized and eventually decide to become part of the terrorist group IS. But the play is also about the broader context of the terrorists, reports Swedish Television, SVT, which has interviewed Johan Gry, the screenwriter and director.

- The goal is to humanise the terrorist, so to speak, and to dare to do it. Daring to ensure that the terrorist is a human being, he says, and continues to clarify his point.

- Because if we do not dare do that, then we dehumanize this person the same way as they dehumanize their victims, and if we can not understand or try to understand this person, we will not do anything about the basic problems.

Also, a panel discussion was scheduled after the show for a discussion of why young people choose to join the terrorist group. Gry explains to Swedish Television that the play is not about defending the terrorists, but rather to provide an understanding of why people choose to become terrorists.

The theatre has a capacity of 600 people.

The Swedish newspaper Nyheter Idag, has tried to get a comment from the press officer of the Gothenburg City Theatre, with no results.

Normalising Islamic radicalisation - creating sympathy for terrorists - courtesy of the Swedish taxpayers - Check.

From Ekman and Bergman to ISIS-propaganda on stage, can you believe it.
