Could you elaborate on that? I guess most people here have no idea of what's the problem there.

Sweden is undergoing a huge surge in violent crime, especially grenade attacks and rapes. The media can't report most of it because they're being perpetrated by migrants. Any media (social and mainstream) that's critical of migrants is being suppressed under threat of arrest under their hate speech laws. As a result, most of the people in Sweden are ignorant of the problem until they themselves become a victim.
Have we? Take a look at the state of the press in Sweden. It's not much different from China these days. Without freedom of speech, there is no freedom of the press. America is the only country that guarantees either. Although, I will concede that our press isn't much better these days. There's a very real problem when every media outlet in the country is owned by just five companies.
