In a recent episode of Aktuellt, SD leader Jimmie Åkesson was given more airtime and faced less scrutiny than his debate opponent, Magdalena Andersson.

This comes amid concerns that SVT is altering its approach to gain trust among right-wing voters, particularly SD supporters.

Critics argue that budget cuts and fewer journalists may lead to a cautious alignment with right-wing perspectives.

This shift is seen as a move to avoid undermining SVT's credibility among a skeptical audience, influenced by government directives to boost trust in public service.
