We are going to have a great show today. As you know Donald Trump continues on a roll. As much as I try to make the a Donald Trump free zone it is impossible. Anyway, Politics Done Right is honored to have two European journalists, specifically Scandinavian journalists in the studio. I cannot wait to hear their impressions of the American body politic.
Sanna BJorling, a native of Uppsala, Sweden, is the Washington DC based correspondent for Dagens Nyhete (www.dn.se), a Swedish major daily Newspaper since 2013. Previously she was a journalist at DN in Stockholm as a financial desk reporter and editor at the culture section among her many positions at the magazine. She was also a journalist at Moderna Tider, a magazine on politics and current events.
Laura Saarikoski is the U.S. based correspondent for Helsingin Sanomat, AKA Helsinki Times, an independent daily established in 1889 and the largest newspaper in Scandinavia. She has been a reporter and feature editor among other positions with the paper for 20 years. She covers U.S. politics, economics, lifestyle, culture, and all permutations thereof. She covered Bush v Gore and have been to 46 states and hoping to get to 50 before her 4year stint is up.
