Min fråga direkt kopierad från Chat GTP:
"Jag vill att du granskar följande media: Swebbtv, Frihetsnytt och (Svenska) Epoch times. Det jag vill att du söker är alla spår av antisemitism och pro-ryska narrativ eller ryssvänligt tonläge. Hittar du detta önskar jag citat och länkar."
Jag tror det har betydelse vilken utgångspunkt man har.
Så här skriver Henrik Sundin i nättidningen Svenska morgonbladet:

Does swebbtv, swedis epochtimes and frihetsnytt contribute to conspiracy theories, rascisms and fascism and authoritarian views
Analyzing whether specific media outlets contribute to conspiracy theories, racism, or authoritarianism requires looking at how they are categorized by media watchdogs, academic researchers, and their own editorial history.
In Sweden, these three outlets are often grouped under the umbrella of "alternative media" (alternativmedier), but they vary significantly in their focus and the level of criticism they receive.
1. Swebbtv
Swebbtv is widely characterized by researchers and anti-extremism organizations (such as the Expo Foundation) as a platform for the far-right and conspiracy-oriented content.
Conspiracy Theories: It has been a prominent platform for "The Great Replacement" theory, COVID-19 misinformation, and claims regarding "globalist" agendas.
Racism/Xenophobia: Its content frequently focuses on the perceived dangers of Islam and immigration. It has been criticized for hosting guests with ties to white nationalist and extremist movements.
Authoritarianism: While it often presents itself as a defender of "free speech" against a "repressive" state, it has been flagged for promoting narratives that align with authoritarian-populist movements.
2. Swedish Epoch Times (Svenska Epoch Times)
The Swedish edition of the global Epoch Times (linked to the Falun Gong movement) has a more complex reputation. It uses a traditional "morning paper" format but is noted for its specific ideological leanings.
Conspiracy Theories: The global parent organization has been heavily criticized for promoting QAnon, anti-vaccine content, and election fraud claims (particularly in the US). In Sweden, critics argue it acts as a "gateway" to these views, though the Swedish edition often focuses more on anti-communist (anti-CCP) reporting and conservative cultural issues.
Racism: It is less overtly "racist" than Swebbtv but is frequently criticized for its focus on immigrant-linked crime and its opposition to "multiculturalism," which some scholars describe as a form of cultural xenophobia.
Authoritarianism: While it is staunchly anti-authoritarian regarding the Chinese government, it has been a vocal supporter of right-wing populist leaders (like Donald Trump) and movements that critics argue have authoritarian tendencies.
3. Frihetsnytt
Frihetsnytt is a relatively newer player in the Swedish alternative media landscape, often associated with the "freedom movement" that grew during the pandemic.
Conspiracy Theories: It is highly active in promoting "system-critical" narratives. This includes skepticism toward international organizations (like the WHO or EU), climate change denial, and theories about elite control of the financial system.
Racism and Fascism: While it often uses the language of "libertarianism" or "freedom," researchers have noted that it frequently collaborates with individuals from the nationalist and far-right spheres. It provides a platform for voices that challenge liberal democratic norms in favor of ethno-nationalist ideas.
