Why is the press/media in Sweden called the Third Estate, while the same is called the Fourth Estate (branch of government) in the United States?
Why so much use of weasel words? (Swedish: "försåtliga referenser")
Why so much being vague with names of perpetrators, locations and victims when reporting on something?
By constantly quoting and interviewing "anonymous individuals" makes the reporting never to be 100% true—you're merely spreading rumors.
Who benefits from this selective reporting?
"Any news report is only as credible as its sourcing,
and anonymously sourced reports should
always be treated with a grain of salt."

In Their Own Words
(always their own words)
"SVT:s news shall stand for objectivity and impartiality.
What we publish must be true and relevant.
In urgent news situations,
it can be difficult to get all the facts confirmed,
so we must tell you what we know—and don't know."

Remember, Swedish Third Estate (media) is NOT REQUIRED by law to keep perpetrators, locations and victims anonymous—this is their own choice.

weasel word
noun
❦
In rhetoric, a weasel word, or anonymous authority, is a word or phrase aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said, when in fact only vague, ambigious, or irrelevant claim has been communicated.
Using weasel words may allow one to later deny any specific meaning if the statement is challenged.
Swedish "News" Outlets
Many Swedish news outlets do provide domestic news in many languages via their websites. There, visitors and readers are [usually] encouraged to read, comment and ask questions.
They claim to be impartial and neutral with their reporting, and I'm sure are very eager to confirm [or deny] any information coming out of Sweden – if it's true or not.
News outlets: State media, private media, alt–media, alternative alt–media, independent journalists, citizen journalists.
Note: Prior to 2020, all of the above were in different roles—the domestic narrative was different then.
And, again…
To this day, the topics brought forward here have yet to be addressed on a serious, mature and honest level, anywhere in Sweden.
These topics simply don't exist …in their favor.
