Bohlin's actions have drawn criticism from, among others, philosophy professor and academy member Åsa Wikforss, who in a TT interview called Bohlin's "aggressive way" of questioning journalists' professionalism "extremely dangerous".

But Ulf Kristersson does not understand the criticism.

It's a bit of a princess on a pea, he says, according to Ekot on Swedish Radio. It is legitimate for the person who was interviewed to give the full picture of how the conversation went.
