Yeah, state-controlled news is always the better source for information. Fucking clown.
U mad? Public service broadcasting does not equal that the state controls the news.
Hastur:
If we are talking about Sweden you have the huge problem of leftism among journalists. This poll was taken among journalists in general.
The situation in public broadcasting is even worse.
That's a rather extreme disparity you're listing, yeah. The only reference to a similar survey as yours, is this one from back in 2010, so assuming you can somewhat understand it (or just put it in Google Translate), it should give you some insight::

In the above, there's a very strong overrepresentation of Radikale Venstre, a liberal progressive party, compared to the rest of population. Since 2010,
Here's also a list of past DR (name of the channel) journalists and show hosts that went into politics and their parties:
4 former employees became or ran as Conservative MP's.
2 former employees became or ran as Liberal Party MP's
1 former employee tried and failed to run for the Unity List (radical Socialists + Communists)
2 former employees are now Liberal Alliance MP's (mix of Classical and neo-Liberals, with a few Libertarians in their youth wing)
However, you say it's a "huge problem" that there so many leftist journalists in general. That to me is like saying it's a "huge problem" that women are underrepresented among corporate board members or in the STEM fields. Well their solution is the same as yours: If you want more representative media (not that I accept the premise that journalists
have to share our values to be good journalists), then become a journalist, or encourage those who represent the underrepresented, to become journalists. So, while I agree it's a problem on some scale...
huge? No. The problem isn't the political beliefs.
Your Social Democrats are nothing like
our Social Democrats. I think just a feature of your culture:
‘It is perhaps the mutism of the Swedes, their silence and their habit of talking with elliptical sobriety, which prompted me to start speaking [writing?] and develop this endless chatter that I believe can only irritate a Swede. [… In Sweden], a human is but a moving dot, obeying laws, patterns and forms in the midst of a traffic that is more powerful and defeats him/her. In its calmness, Sweden reveals a brave new world where we discover that the human is no longer necessary.’ (Interview with Michel Foucault by I. Lindung Bonniers Litteräre Magasin, Stockholm, 1968).
See? You make even Marxists shiver in fear of too much social control... If you became more Liberal, you'd just go around shushing people who spoke too loudly about Socialism, and no matter which private TV show hosted the election debate they would tell their viewers how sorry they were for letting people with "problematic" opinions voice theirs. Oh, and you'd tell poor little girls who drew drawings of Jews getting killed by elephants that: "Dear, you know that elephants drawn like that are
African elephants and those are too hard to train to kill Jews... You
do understand we can't
have you drawing such fantastical and disruptive drawings? It should wouldn't do, you see? You should have drawn a nice
house for the Jews to die in, instead. Now you have to walk the plank. Yes, be a good girl, now...".
Po5:
So you've chosen your favorite propaganda.
Let's make a deal. If you are able to tell me what the propaganda DR news is propagating is, I'd be willing to answer if I've chosen it. Here, get cracking:
