This is how people's preconceived notions of proper political views have become more important to them than actual reality.

Dozens of teens ‘sexually assaulted by foreign youths’ at popular music festival
Tanveer Mann for Metro.co.uk
Monday 4 Jul 2016 7:21 pm
Swedish police have received 35 complaints from young women after "foreign young men" went on an apparent two day rampage at a popular music festival, sexually assaulting young girls they found there. The actual number of girls attacked during the weekend festival are thought to be much higher, as within many of the 35 reports received by police, there are thought to be multiple complainants. Police started to receive reports from young women during the Kalstad 'Putte i Parken' (Party in the Park) on Friday and Saturday night, reports Svenska Dagbladet, with 24 received during the festival and another 11 coming afterward. karlstad Festival

So much wrong here.
The Metro? We're getting our news from British tabloid papers now? And the Metro's source? The
Daily Mail ! 
"Police have received 35 complaints" and we basically have one "witness," if she is a real person:
Alexandra Larsson
If anyone can connect this photo with the Facebook account of a real person (I can't), post it here?
The whole article is based on her story, along with some other august news sources like
Expressen (a Swedish taboid!) and—get this—
Breitbart.
But in the Breitbart story the account is attributed to an unnamed "15 year old girl."
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/07 ... years-old/
Breitbart's most-cited source in its article is of course
Breitbart. Along with more Swedish tabloids, including
Expressen and another Swedish tabloid,
Aftonbladet, which Breitbart disingenuously calls Sweden's "best-selling newspaper" to lend it credibility, and which one of its own reporters says regards "the love life of Swedish tabloid celebrity Linda Rosing as equally important to the war in Iraq."
Breitbart helpfully points out that one of the first papers to report the "mass sex attacks" was
Fria Tider ("Free Times"), a "Swedish
immigration critical online magazine" (that's from the first sentence in the Wikipedia article, translated here) known as "libertarian conservative" and "part of the
radical right-wing populist line environment," and "says it
is inspired by paleoconservatism and paleolibertarianism."
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fria_Tider
Can we suppose there's a tiny chance that
Fria Tider might exaggerate and sensationalize, if not fictionalize, such matters?
Lastly, in one paragraph Breitbart cites, for a measure of authority, an unnamed "police source."
Breitbart naturally claims the "actual number of girls attacked during the weekend festival are thought to be much higher" than thirty-five. Surely there are at least a dozen cell phone videos, I might look later. Yet only two arrests were made—16 year old and 17 year old boys.
And really, is "groping" the same as a "sex attack"? (—excuse me,
dozens of sex attacks.) I really should go search those videos. They must be all over Swedish TV.
So we're basically getting all this through some yellow Swedish tabloids and a couple of rightwing online newspapers, Breitbart being one.
But wait! There's more!

Sweden: Sexual Assaults at Swimming Pools
by Ingrid Carlqvist
March 7, 2016 at 5:00 am
Young male asylum seekers have turned Sweden's public swimming pools into ordeals of rape and sexual assault.
Swedish politicians seem convinced that some education on "equality" will change the ways of men, who, since childhood, have been taught that it is the responsibility of women not to arouse them -- and therefore the woman's fault if the man feels like raping her.
More and more Swedes are now avoiding public pools altogether.
Staff at Malmö's Hylliebadet family adventure pool were given strict instructions not to report certain things, and above all, never to mention the ethnicity or religion of those who cause problems at the pool.
"What the Afghans are doing is not wrong in Afghanistan, so your rules are completely alien to them. ... If you want to stop Afghans from molesting Swedish girls, you need to be tough on them. Making them take classes on equality and how to treat women is pointless. The first time they behave badly, they should be given a warning, and the second time you should deport them from Sweden." — Mr. Azizi, manager of a hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan
The Gatestone Institute?!
The Gatestone Institute, formerly Stonegate Institute and Hudson New York, is a nonpartisan,
right-wing not-for-profit international policy council and think tank based in New York City with a specialization in strategy and defense issues

, Khaled Abu Toameh, Harold Rhode,[11] and Sebastian Gorka.

...
The Gatestone Institute has been accused of being islamophobic, and of promoting falsehoods and paranoia.

Rosenwald and her family have donated more than $2.8 million since 2000 to “organisations that fan the flames of Islamophobia”
