Only the SD stood by its opinion, says Alexander Christiansson, SD's cultural policy spokesperson.
SD had raised the issue of inviting SVT executives to inform politicians about how to work to prevent disinformation and AI-generated content.
The background is that SVT's news magazine Agenda used a video clip that turned out to be AI-generated.
Have regretted
The clip showed what appeared to be a New York police officer berating an ICE worker. The clip was aired as part of a segment highlighting the controversy in the United States over the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
Agenda's editor-in-chief Michael Kucera has regretted what happened.
It would have been a good opportunity for SVT to explain and inform, says Christiansson.
“Naughty debate”
He states that he wants to be able to stand tall before his voters, who may not have confidence in SVT's impartiality, and say that SVT is doing what they can to be impartial.
I believe that if we open up such an opportunity to call in a manager of a media house, we are on a dangerous path, says committee chairman Mats Berglund (MP).
It's a pretty nasty debate that politics is increasingly getting involved in and trying to make the media suspicious.
Liberal Party member Malin Danielsson emphasizes that Sweden has free media and that it is not the role of politics to have opinions about individual features or programs.
"I don't think it's strange that SVT would come and provide information about how they intend to work on the issue. It's not about giving someone a reprimand or a raise," says Christiansson (SD).
