Swedish state broadcaster SVT is accused of spreading false information about President Trump, accompanied by harassment, including a show about a woman who was refused sex because she resembled Trump.

SVT aired an edited clip of Mr Trump’s speech on 6 January 2021, which was originally produced by the BBC. The BBC was subsequently hit with a $1 billion lawsuit as a result. Now, people in Sweden ask whether Trump also should file a lawsuit against SVT.

The last person to take SVT to court was Linda Karlstrom, an anti-vaxxer. She was defamed in an documentary by journalists who posed as vaccine critics under false pretences while wearing wigs. The faking SVT journalists were invited to her home, where they met Ms Karlstrom’s children while secretly recording their interactions.

The only way to sue the well-protected SVT was to sue the Swedish state itself. She won, but the court ruled that she had to pay her own legal fees. In a later ruling, SVT was acquitted after a higher court found that SVT had complied with the law.

Mockery and fake news about President Trump have been ongoing since 2016. There are many examples of SVT’s phoney news to choose from. One of the funniest is a short film from 2020 about a Swedish woman who was unable to get sex because she resembled Trump. The hit piece was titled ’Grab Them’.

For decades, the Swedish people have been plagued by SVT’s biased news coverage of all kinds of topics. SVT is particularly adept at omitting key facts and interpreting events based on predetermined narratives.

This has been going on since 1956, when TV1 started broadcasting. At that time, there was only one TV channel in Sweden. The second channel, TV2, was launched in 1969. The third channel TV3 was launched in 1987.
