In a significant shift, a parliamentary investigation into public service broadcasting in Sweden has recommended changes to make SVT, the national broadcaster, more favorable towards the Sweden Democrats (SD) and Moderate Party (M), citing a need to address the lack of trust among these parties' voters.

This move comes after revelations of SD's use of troll farms to undermine confidence in SVT.

The investigation also suggests financial cutbacks and alterations to the "mirror mission", emphasizing Swedish culture over equality and diversity.

These recommendations have sparked controversy and debate over the future regulation of public service media, highlighting a departure from Sweden's long tradition of broad political consensus on media policy.
