Swedish Partisan Service
I have filed a lawsuit (diarie number 0239/2005) against Swedish Public Broadcasting (SVT) to The Swedish Broadcasting Commission for the SVT society program Faktum where they portrayed George W Bush as the only world leader who wanted to create a third world war. This was, according to the poor sarcasm from the reporter, his whole political objective, while Kim Jong-Il and other leaders "only wanted peace".
I am not alone in this. There have been several charges against SVT for this program during the last days. Yet, it remains one of the biggest political shows in Sweden, where the government is running the show...
And while they are at it - SVT produced a new commercial (only government-sponsored commercials are allowed on Public Service TV...) where they blame Berlusconi for his media empire in Italy and argue that Sweden is the only country with truly "free media", as if they were seemingly oblivious of how the media monopoly in Sweden is de facto run by the Swedish (socialist) government.
Sweden's conservative youth has produced a great response.
