Fox News reporting about Sweden is both agenda-driven, false and unprofessional.

For example they showed a video about Sweden that was filled with errors. The interviewed policemen also called the filmmaker Horowitz a madman after seeing the finished video. The photographer also backed up the policemen and said that video was unethical edit.

Fox News also had Nils Bildt as a guest, on one of their shows and presented hims a “Swedish defense and national security advisor” even if he had no connection to Swedish security. Nils Bildt also haven't lived in Sweden since 1994 and have a criminal record in USA.

Fox News goes so far as having far right extremist Ingrid Carlqvist as a guest. They also just presented her a “Swedish columnist” without information about her background. Ingrid Carlqvist have bothy stated that she want all Muslims driven from Sweden and blamed jews for Sweden's cultural diversity.

What the viewers are never told is that Ingrid Carlqvist has been a central player in the anti-Muslim counter-jihad movement. Nor are the viewers made aware that she recently accused "representatives of the ethnic group of Jews" in Sweden of being behind Sweden's cultural diversity, a conspiracy theory that Swedish nazis have long promoted.

Carlqvist is known for her hard-line anti-Muslim views. In December 2016, on a podcast run by members of the violent nazi organization "Nordic Resistance Movement", she declared that she wants to drive out all Swedish Muslims from the country. (Radio Regeringen #28, 21 December 2016.)

The scary part is that many Americans believe Fox News and also that Donald Trump seem to believe Fox News. While at the same time Donald Trump call other news media fake news and even enemy of the people.
