Skavlan failed Åkesson – Aftonbladet

Do you Björn Söder that Jews may live in Sweden but they are not Swedes?

Why do you think that Muslims are the biggest threat to Sweden since World War II ?

What do you do about it organized hatred of the extreme right site Avpixlat, as a trademark protected with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office of SD’s MP Kent Ekeroth?

Are you agreed with your deputy party leader about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, born in Malmö, not Swedish because of body language?

Such simple, straightforward questions.

Occasionally tough. Too dull mood, it does not become crisp.

I thought, unlike many others, it was a great idea to SVT let Jimmie Åkesson speak out in mysteveprogrammet “Skavlan” when he made a comeback in politics . PR and propaganda work like that. Politicians avoid well-informed political journalists and choose rather entertainment program.

But it does not be a disadvantage, on the contrary, if the presenter is doing good craftsmanship. There’s many more conceivable than two million yesterday, thanks to the media hype, watching “Skavlan” than on “Agenda”. In addition, an audience that is not particularly interested in politics and who may not be aware that SD is sprung out of the Nazi movement, or that the party is not primarily “xenophobic” or “immigration critical” but racist because only some people, with according to the SD unseemly cultural, or religious background, which should not come here and thus practically killed by IS or atrophy in camps far, far away from the red cottages with Swedish flags.

A familiar political journalist facing a familiar audience skips lightly over such obvious because everyone would just yawn. The popular “Skavlan” are completely different opportunities to broad issues.

Now it was unfortunately not so. Skavlan chose the tangled – to draw up statements like “Jew swine,” “parasites” and “cockroaches” from the SD representatives which Åkesson could easily distance themselves from. He has not said so.

“Talk to us! Stop calling those who vote for us racists, “said Åkesson martyr base. Where he touched on a philosophical question, which Skavlan nor asked:

What is it about you vote for a racist party? A party that does not believe that Jews or Zlatan is Swedish, which believes that Muslims are the biggest threat since Adolf Hitler and who spread hatred and threats against minorities and journalists – from the parliamentary group. What is it about then? Are you a happy Democrat? Is it a true humanist? What is it?

Instead traded most of Åkessons burnout and addiction. It was sympathetically, many share the same experiences. He was cute and fragile. The interview ended with Skavlan behaved critical of SD’s untruthful commercial where immigration was against pensioners. On the surface, tough journalism but with only results that commercial was shown free for two million people. It is impossible to access subtext.

So it can go. It is difficult even for shooting iron journalists to interview trilled politicians.

Skavlan had a dream location but hit the ball in the post.

But Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits played fine.
