Rump - Orlando:
"You look at what's happening last night in Sweden" --- well... no you don't, since nothing happened there. Unless what you're "looking at" ----------- is Fox Noise :lol:

Resident Orange, who froths at the mouth about "fake news" every time he gets a diaper chafe, apparently nevertheless thinks watching a fake journalist on TV ..... ISN'T fake news? :wtf:


>> Two Swedish police officers who were interviewed by Horowitz as part of his recent film on Muslim immigration in Sweden now say, however, that the filmmaker completely misconstrued their comments about crime in their country.

In an interview with Swedish publication DN.se, Anders Göranzon and Jacob Ekström described Horowitz as a “madman” who dishonestly edited their words to make it appear as though Sweden is being overwhelmed by a migrant crime wave.

“He has edited the answers,” Göranzon told the publication. “We were answering completely different questions in the interview. This is bad journalism.”

Horowitz interviewed the two officers while making a video report in which he claimed Muslim immigrants have forced Swedish law enforcement officials to designate some areas as “no-go zones” where they are too afraid to enter.

The officers, however, say that Horowitz simply asked them about the difficulties in policing high-crime areas — and that he never once asked them anything specifically about Muslim refugees.

“The excerpt they showed doesn’t say anything, we answered a different question,” said Göranzon. “We don’t stand behind what he says. He is a madman.” << --- Sweden scratches collective head at "bad journalism by a madman"


Police captain Göranzon in an interview with Radio Sweden (translated -- audio here, story at 7:32 of Part Two):

"Our answers were taken out of context. The interview with this journalist was about gang-related violence in the suburbs of Stockholm, and about the shootings in Malmö, Gotheborg and Stockholm, and whether the violence has increased, and whether the organized crime has spread nd become more serious. THAT was what the interview was about. Not about immigration and whether it had anything to do with the criminality. Nothing about color of skin or religion, but purely about criminality.

I explained to him that in Sweden we don't think along those lines about religion and ethnicity in the same way that I understand is done in the US.

If we speak of the refugees who came in 2015 and '16, there are very few of these people who live in these areas. They live in completely different areas.

We thought it was a joke at first. This has nothing to do with the interview we did. We're not at all behind Fox News.

I don't know what to say. This is completely amazing-- he must have one of the world's best intelligence services, and he's using this as a basis for making judgments about Sweden? I just don't know what to say".

Nor do we.

This is exactly what I mean by the dangers of having a CinC who's so damn dim he thinks television is "real".
 
Martin Gelin, Dagens Nyheter (Stockholm)

>> The conservative TV channel Fox News, which Trump often watches at the White House, recently broadcast a feature where they speculated that rapes in Sweden are increasing because of the refugees. But Trump might as well have taken the part of any other of the countless right media in the United States which has long been reported that Sweden would be heading for collapse. Among Trump's supporters, it is common to encounter myths that Sweden is characterized by complete chaos after taking in refugees from the Middle East. Incorrect, fictitious and misleading news of this has consistently been spread on the right sites like Breitbart, Human Events, Drudge Report and the TV channel Fox News, as well as on the popular conservative radio programs that reach millions daily.

That Trump himself is spreading such lies and conspiracy theories is not a coincidence, but part of a broader strategy to create uncertainty and confusion. In the long run, he wants to undermine the serious media and the freedom of the press in the United States. Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon made headlines when, shortly after the presidential election, described the US media as an "opposition party". But Trump expresses the same as clearly himself. This week, he stated in a message on Twitter, the media is "the American people's enemy". His chief of staff Reince Priebus defended the statement.

This is a consistent pattern of Donald Trump's behavior. As soon as he encountered political setbacks that after this week's scandal in which he was forced to dismiss his security adviser Michael Flynn, he responded with loud rage against the media, to deceive their followers to believe that what is reported about him is simply not true. During the presidential election last year, we saw constant example of this. As soon Trump's poll numbers plummeting, and he ended up in an unusually damaging scandal, he began to devote large parts of their campaign speech to criticize and mock journalists on the spot. Toward the end he began to encourage the audience in place to harass journalists. Several of the American reporters who followed his election campaign full time forced to hire bodyguards to ensure safety during campaign trips, because they received so many death threats by Trump's followers.

As president, Trump has not mitigated these attacks, but on the contrary ratchets up the pitch. He has consistently started talking about serious mass media as "fake news" and in press conferences, he refers to any negative news report about him as "fake". ...

This weekend Trump did a mass mailing to millions of supporters urging them not to believe anything they see in the mainstream media. His email began with the line: "You know we can not trust the media to report any of what I achieve."

It is not uncommon for presidents have a problematic relationship with the news media, but no president, not even Richard Nixon, has so consistently sought to undermine the freedom of the press in the United States. <<​
 
Sweden reacts:.

>> Swedes were left scratching their heads over the weekend after US President Donald Trump suggested, erroneously, that a possible terrorist attack struck the country on Friday.

The remark, made on Saturday at a rally in the US state of Florida, was ridiculed by Swedes on social media. Former prime minister and foreign minister Carl Bildt asked on Twitter what Trump had "been smoking" before he made the comment.

Striking a more diplomatic tone, current foreign minister Margot Wallström sought to set the record straight in a statement on Monday.

"We see unfortunately a general tendency that false information is increasing," Wallström wrote regarding outside views on Sweden. "The Foreign Ministry and the embassies are working continuously to spread an accurate and fair picture of Sweden."​
...

No major incident or attack took place in Sweden on Friday.

The Swedish Foreign Ministry later said they were seeking a clarification from the White House.<< -- Radio Sweden

You're wasting your time, Sweden. Apparently we have an Orange Freak who thinks reality lives inside the boob tube.
Can't fight that kind of addiction with "reality".
 
The Swedes flat out lie about their Muslim "issues". As a matter of fact they are lying right now because the migrant suburb of Stockholm is rioting.
 
Nothing happened in Sweden, there is no problem, the Islamic immigrants have been model citizens...

That pogo stick you have lodged up your ass is cutting off the oxygen and blood to that void between your ears...

All of the negative news out of Europe about their Islamic immigrant problems are just blown out of proportion by ruthless Christian propagandist...

Pogostick said so...
 
Here's a giant whopper by the Swedes. Actually it's worse than a lie. It was a controlled cover up by the state, the police and the concert promoter.

All sorts of teenage girls were sexually assaulted at a summer festival.

The police didn't report the massive sexual assaults on teenage girls for three reasons. And they are all absolutely appalling reasons. So screw the Swedes and their bloody lies.

#1 The police didn't want to provoke ethnic tensions.

#2 current government wanted to give no fodder to their opposition.

#3 the festival organizers didn't want a bad reputation as young teenage girls are the target audience.

Un freaking real. That squeaky clean image of Sweden is only a facade. You pull back that scab called coverups and the real pus of that country comes flowing out.

"It is absolutely clear – with the publication of internal memos by the newspaper Dagens Nyheter – that the Stockholm police failed to report the sex assaults at the festival for fear of worsening ethnic tensions.

And it was understood by all parties that this would lead to an electoral advantage for the Sweden Democrats.

The organisers, who also allegedly knew what was going on, were concerned for the success of the festival and did not want to frighten away the teenagers who were its target audience.

"So teenage girls were systematically assaulted and robbed by gangs of young foreign men because too many powerful people found their suffering was inconvenient.

The result of this cover-up will be far more damaging than the truth could have been."

But the Swedes want to pretend every thing is hunky dory. While lying their asses off.

O'Reilly was showing the riots in the Muslim part of Stockholm tonight. Fires, looting and property damage. Also Sweden is giving n to Shariah law. Just today the courts ruled a Muslim 24 year old can marry his 14 year old cousin. I don't know why Sweden is covering up the news items.

Well it's pretty insane when you have the police in collusion with the government to cover up migrant crime.
 
It wasn't long ago the left praised Sweden as a socialist utopia. Guess not....

Just search the USMB for farewell Sweden and don't let yo jaw hit the floor when you see the Swedish government lie to their own people. Just like hear in the US the leftist scourge/alt left support the very people that would cut off their heads, SAD...
Poor lefties, you should come out the basement once in awhile, get some air, the radon gas is doing a number on your pea brain...
 
Yep --- nothing happening in Sweden --- nothing to see here. Go to the link - watch the clip.

Stockholm, Sweden (CNN)Riots broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood of Stockholm Monday night, as residents clashed with police officers and set vehicles on fire, Swedish police say.

Officers were forced to call in reinforcements when a crowd began to gather in the suburb of Rinkeby during the arrest of a suspect, according to a statement from Stockholm police.
Stockholm regional police chief Ulf Johansson said the clashes may have been a result of their "increased pressure on criminals in the area."

The clashes come days after US President Donald Trump suggested that immigrants in Sweden were to blame for an increase in crime across the country.

LAST NIGHT IN SWEDEN
Problems? What problems?

To be sure, I was puzzled at first by Trump's reference to Sweden, and rechecked a few news sources to see if I'd missed something. Then I realized he might have been referring to a segment I'd watched the night before on Tucker Carlson Live. One or Carlson's guests was filmmaker Ari Horowitz, who had made a documentary about all those non-existent Swedish no-go zones and all that imaginary crime. Sure enough, Trump later tweeted that this was exactly what he was talking about: he'd been watching Tucker Carlson, too. (Which, incidentally, was nice to know.)

But one article calling Trump out on his Sweden remark wasn't enough for the Times. The next day it ran another. “The Swedes were flabbergasted,” claimed Chan and co-reporter Sewell Baker. Again we heard from Bildt, who this time said: “We are used to seeing the president of the U.S. as one of the most well-informed persons in the world, also well aware of the importance of what he says....And then, suddenly, we see him engaging in misinformation and slander against a truly friendly country, obviously relying on sources of a quality that at best could be described as dubious.” The piece went on to cite this incident as yet another example of Trump alienating “American friend” (something that the Times hadn't been particularly worried about when Obama was sticking his fingers in the eyes of our allies and sucking up to our foes).

At the Times, of course, as I wrote the other day, “fake news” is old news. And “fake news” about Trump has been a staple at that newspaper ever since he rode down that escalator in Trump Tower. But this new bout of “fake news” about Sweden was even more transparently fake than usual. If everything's fine in Sweden, then why the hell are the Sweden Democrats rising in the polls? Hell, if everything's fine in Sweden, why do the Sweden Democrats exist at all? Chan and Baker interviewed a couple of leading Swedish politicians and other top members of Sweden's cultural elite, but they didn't quote any Sweden Democrats.

Nor did they quote any ordinary Swedes like my many Swedish friends on Facebook, every one of whom gave Trump a full thumbs-up. (Example: “Trump may be clumsy but it is true that we have a crisis in Sweden. It is not about what happened or what didn't happen on a specific night. It is a crisis which has lead to a complete U-turn in the debate about immigration. The self-proclaimed humanitarian superpower has zealously introduced border checks and tougher asylum laws. Attitudes are changing by the hour.”) They didn't quote anybody from the Australian version of 60 Minutes whose crew was physically attacked last year when they tried to report from one of those non-existent no-go zones. They didn't quote the Bosnian immigrant to Sweden who calls himself “The Angry Foreigner” and who has recorded a number of highly informative videos about the Swedish crisis. (On Monday, he posted a new video responding to the whole Trump debacle.)

They didn't quote Stephen Jerand, chief of police in the Swedish city of Östersund, who three weeks ago urged Swedish women to “adjust their behavior” in order to avoid rape by you-know-who. They didn't quote Swedish police inspector Lars Alvarsjö, who warned last year that the country's police departments and courts were on the verge of collapse because of the crush of immigrant crime. They didn't quote the Swedish cop who told one reporter just the other day that he would never drop his daughter off at the central train station in Stockholm because of the abusive conduct of the Moroccan youths who congregate there. They didn't quote Peter Springare, a police investigator in Örebro, Sweden, who got in trouble with authorities for stating publicly that virtually all of the criminals he deals with are Muslims. They didn't quote Stefan Sinteus, police chief in Malmö, who has complained about the “upward spiral of violence” by Muslim immigrants in that city, Sweden's third largest. They didn't quote any of the other Swedish police officers who last year told Norway's NRK that more than 50 neighborhoods in Sweden were, indeed, no-go areas where “lawlessness reigns.”

...

Granted, nothing special took place in Sweden last Friday night. But as it happens, on Monday night quite a bit happened. “Violent riots” (as even Swedish television put it) erupted in Rinkeby, one of the Muslim-heavy Stockholm suburbs whose names have become very familiar to those of us around the world who follow these matters. Locals set cars on fire, threw stones at police, looted stores, and beat people up. One witness called it “a war zone.” But don't worry: this sort of thing happens all the time there. It's just a matter of getting used to it. And learning to deliver Orwellian lies about it to the outside world – learning to insist, smoothly and charmingly and with a genial smile on your face, that war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. All, needless to say, in the name of a higher moral duty.

"It Looks Like A War Zone": Trump Vindicated After Violent Riot Erupts In Swedish Suburb | Zero Hedge

Monday, Jizzhat.

Rump declared that something had gone down "last night" on Saturday --- which makes "last night" FRIDAY.

The only thing that went down Friday was a fake news story by a dishonest hack who --- as already deliniated in the OP --- made up a bullshit story out of misrepresentations. And there ain't a damn thing you can do about that except acknowledge it. For which you don't have the balls.

Linear time, Jizzhat. It's not just a good idea --- it's the law.

Dayum. Don't know if you're actually aware of this but :lalala: is actually a voluntary act.

Get your fingers outta your ears. "The Swedes are liars"... pathetic. "I see what multiple interviewees said about a fake interview report but it doesn't serve my fantasy, therefore they're 'liars'. Fucking pathetic. Fake news plays you like a three-dollar banjo and there you are handing out fingerpicks to help them do it. SMH
