Nothing. Liberals and Conservatives still stand by them. Just maybe do they not do it to the same degree anymore. One of the things they did was to try and increase support for a conspiracy theory that is exists among a few immigrants in Sweden; that swedish goverment agencies kidnap their babies. I think in the exposé they did show that wanted to do this so that these conspiracy theorists would take action, because that would increase support for the far right. No issue for the other parties apparently.
