Swedish news media keeps presenting Sahra Wagenknecht as a "left-wing radical". Like today, when Dagens Nyheter published a rather long political portrait of Wagenknecht. Nothing wrong with the text in itself: while it (reasonably) labels BSW as a "left-wing party", it does not present it as "radical" but rather makes clear that most of Wagenknecht's politics is rather centrist.

Nevertheless, Dagens Nyheter added the word "left-wing radical" both in the title AND the lead paragraph.

This really demonstrates a kind of centrist logic, unable to think that pro-Putinism can occur not only at the political "extremes" but in the centre as well.
(This should really be an obvious insight if one just looks back 20 years in German history.)
