Now that you're editing your comment while I'm writing this, it's a bit hard to comment. I agree with you to 100% that we should have anonymity online, and that the media supporting data breaches of personal data is a bad thing. BUT I think what you write/wrote about "pk media", "mainstream media" and "immigration" is totally irrelevant to this post and HN in general. I have to say, for the non-Swedes here, that your view are _definitely not_ the common view that Swedes have. While the media is biased sometimes I would actually say that it's the people who are against immigration and have ran out of arguments to justify their case, who use this "argument" to deny facts. Sorry to be harsh but please find some real arguments why the media is not objective.

Sorry, I was adding more information since I thought it was interested for outsiders to objectively learn about what is happening in Sweden. I haven't said anything about immigration, but that we have a mainstream media that have specific political bias is proven [1] and that people don't trust media is also well known [2]. It IS the common view Swedes have, or at least one of the more common. The reason why media is not objective is simple: there is no one there with different opinions that get air to vent the counter arguments. That is why there is such a huge traffic going to "alternative media" which is almost as popular as the state sponsored SVT.

  For everyone who doesn't speak swedish, in the third citation you can also read that the "alternative media" is far from the popularity of the most popular media outlets. > Fria Tiders total under veckan var 91936 reaktioner på 55 artiklar. Aftonbladets motsvarande siffra var 936570 på 1316 artiklar. Fria Tiders total was 100k "shares" on social media whereas the biggest news outlet Aftonbladet has 1M "shares". And there is another one called Expressen which has another 1M shares.
