      In Norway, NRK started a misinformation campaign in a local school to influence the school election to show how easy it was.

      It was not well received

        There was a lot of talk about it in the news, and the right wing party did distance itself from some of the elements of the operation. Mostly they played the fake news card though, and essentially claimed that the deep state was against them - because the investigation came from the Swedish state media company.

        They also had a lackluster election result (EU elections) right after, but who knows how much impact this thing had, if any.

        Anyway, basically all of them are still in their jobs and they are actively taking a shit down the throats of the Swedish population, as they are currently in the majority block of the government and can as such get a lot of their politics through.
