[edit] As a front
The group claims to work to promote freedom of expression, but according to Tøger Seidenfaden, former editor-in-chief of Politiken, this is merely a cover for their true purpose, promoting hatred against Muslims and foreigners.[1] Politiken has written in an editoral that Trykkefrihedsselskabet promotes "conspiracy theorist drivel."[2]
[edit] Trykkefrihedsprisen
Trykkefrihedsprisen, the "Freedom of Expression Prize," is awarded by the association. In 2007, the virulent Islamophobe and crank Daniel Pipes was the recipient of the prize.
