A major way the current Swedish government has broken with existing democratic norms is how they will simply ignore journalists' questions. This used to be unthinkable in Sweden.

So now in Sweden we have not only a more Trumpian government, but we also have a more divided news media: between those who ask tough questions and who get excluded, and between those who modify themselves in order to keep getting access to politicians. It's corrosive for democracy in so many ways.
