Svenska Dagbladet political reporter Annie Reuterskiöld in a series of articles portrayed party leader Nyamko Sabunis close ties to former party leader Lars Leijonborg and former party secretary Johan Jakobsson, who now work as consultants on political influence.
Among other things, it is alleged that the proposal for an electrification commission, the main number in the first figure Almedal de Sabuni, must have been designed by the truck manufacturer Scania, a client of the Jakobsson lobby firm, Nordic PA.
You have Nyamko Sabuni at go to attack against internal critics of the party who supposedly love her very much. Leader L is probably right on their minds.
The ideal image of the sources and the complainants is that they only go to the media to disinterestedly spread important social problems. So far from that it is always seen in reality. Sometimes leaks consist of setting the hook for someone you don’t like. The world’s best-known source, “Deep Throat,” which revealed the Watergate scandal, turned out to have little reason. Mark Felt hadn’t gotten the job he wanted.
It is a shame that among Swedish sources, there are disappointed liberal parties who did not realize that Erik Ullenhag lost the party’s leadership elections last year. However, it is not at all strange for reporters to use information from them.
Robert Hannah, spokesman for L’s integration policy, however, goes further than its party leader. On twitter He creates the entire series of articles as a “vile attempt” by Svenska Dagbladet to “discredit Nyamko Sabuni”. Therefore, the newspaper has not only published information that is bothersome to a party leader, which is normally a journalistic job, but the purpose of SvD would have been to blackmail her.
However, no evidence of the serious accusation is given to Hannah. And he goes further than that. In his attempts to defend Nyamko Sabuni he stretches also an insinuating article from Dagens Opinion, where it is mentioned that SvD reporter Annie Reuterskiöld is, of course, cohabiting with a consultant who has had significant assignments for Social Democrats.
It is important that reviewers are also subject to review. Traditional media still has great power in Sweden and I usually me call more internal criticism and self-exploration in my industry. Media managers may be better at setting up interviews. And if full transparency is required, I can announce that I have been a Reuterskiöld colleague and consultant in Nordic PA on various editorial boards.
But the problem is that this is not a review. What Annie Reuterskiöld tried to demonstrate was that Sabuni’s contacts with Jakobsson and Leijonborg must have influenced the policies and positions of the liberals. Today’s Opinion has done nothing but verify the Census Record.
The question is why liberals, the obvious choice for well-groomed student council presidents, think they would have something to gain from that.
It is particularly strange that Robert Hannah, in particular, takes that article in his opinion formation. For a long time he has been involved in important political work against patriarchal structures. Now he himself contributes to reducing female reporters to an extension of his men.
Donald Trump has shown that political points can be earned by trying to undermine media trust and portray them as enemies. It is perfectly safe to do the same in Sweden, where trust in journalists is already low.
The only question is why representatives of liberals, the obvious choice for a well-chaired student council president, think that their own party would have something to gain from such development.
