History
Aftenposten was founded by Christian Schibsted May 14, 1860 under the name "Christiania Adresseblad". Events 1264 - Battle of Lewes: Henry III of England is captured in France making Simon de Montfort the Year 1860 ( MDCCLX) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Leap year starting The year after it got the name Aftenposten.

Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) The Friday morning edition carries the A-magasinet supplement, featuring articles on science, politics, and the arts.
Historically, Aftenposten labelled itself as "independent, conservative", most closely aligning their editorial platform with the Norwegian conservative party, Høyre. Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined The Conservative Party ( Høyre, H meaning " right " is a Norwegian Political party. This manifested itself in blunt anti-communism during the inter-war era. During the Second World War Aftenposten due to its large circulation was put under the directives of the German occupation authorities and a Nazi editorial management was imposed upon the newspaper. It was in Aftenposten that Knut Hamsun's infamous eulogy over Adolf Hitler was printed, on May 7, 1945:
Adolf Hitler I am not worthy to speak his name out loud. Knut Hamsun, born Knud Pedersen ( August 4, 1859 - February 19, 1952) was a Norwegian author. A eulogy is a speech or writing in Praise of a person or thing Hi and welcome to Wikipedia!

He was a warrior, a warrior for mankind, and a prophet of the gospel of justice for all nations. His was a reforming nature of the highest order, and his fate was to arise in a time of barbarism which finally felled him. Thus might the average western European regard Adolf Hitler. We, his closest supporters, now bow our heads at his death. Knut Hamsun
In 2007 Aftenposten slandered Julia Svetlichnaja, the last person to interview the murdered Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, alleging that she was a Kremlin agent - only to withdraw the charges and paying Ms Svetlichnaja's legal costs. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. London correspondent Hilde Harbo let herself be fed this disinformation from the Russian émigré community without checking whether it was true. [2]
Editorial line
While traditionally seen as conservative, some external observers believe that Aftenposten has shifted its editorial line somewhat to the left after the end of the Cold War. Cold War is the state of conflict tension and competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR and their respective allies from the Criticism of Israel, the 2003 Invasion of Iraq and the conservative candidate for bishop of Oslo are taken as evidence of this shift. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1 2003 was spearheaded by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia
In general, Aftenposten articles do not explicitly endorse any political faction in Norwegian politics.
