Republican Tabloids Caught by Royal Frenzy

Sweden’s two major tabloid newspapers are officially republican. Both socialist Aftonbladet and liberal Expressen say they want to replace the monarch with a president elected by parliamentarians. That is the official rhetoric. In reality, these newspapers have developed a symbiotic relationship with the royals, and today this is more obvious then ever. The thing about the monarchy in this country is that most people love it but few have the courage to say it. The journalists are no different.
