This article examines NHK’s evening news coverage and opposition questioning in the Diet, arguing that the media narrative surrounding Prime Minister Takaichi reflects the shared anti-Japanese bias of old media and left-wing opposition forces.
Japan’s opposition parties are, in the strictest sense, the lowest of the low.
They are an organization of people so foolish, vulgar, incompetent, and despicable that it is no exaggeration to call them human refuse.
They may well be the lowest and most contemptible political class in the history of advanced nations.
One must even wonder whether genuine Japanese people are a minority among them.
Indeed, judging from their conduct, one may suspect that there are scarcely any genuine Japanese among them at all.
Those opposition parties, together with NHK and the rest of the old media, trampled on the will of the overwhelming majority of the Japanese people, excluding Shukan Bunshun and the old media, and used this absurd report to attack Prime Minister Takaichi in the Diet itself.
I do not know what their true motive is.
But I see this report as something fabricated precisely in line with China’s wishes.
In reality, it is no exaggeration to say that more than 90 percent of the Japanese people support Prime Minister Takaichi.
And yet, they attacked her in the Diet.
That is the true nature of today’s opposition parties.
I happened to be watching NHK’s flagship 7 p.m. news program, which I almost never watch, while also watching a professional baseball broadcast.
NHK reported the opposition’s questions as if they were correct, as if they were based on fact.
This is the true nature of NHK.
This is the true nature of a broadcaster that is, in substance, a state broadcaster, sustained by what is virtually compulsory collection of viewing fees from the people.
In other words, the people who control NHK’s news division are of exactly the same root and the same kind as the lowest opposition parties described above.
Japan’s opposition parties are an organization of people so foolish, vulgar, incompetent, and despicable that it is no exaggeration to call them human refuse.
NHK itself proved that those who control its news division are leftist infantilists, infected with masochistic historical views and anti-Japanese ideology, exactly of the same root and the same kind as those opposition parties.
When the female anchor on that program used to cover sports, I watched her with a certain liking.
She was from Aomori, the same Tohoku region as myself, and she was the kind of person I tended to like.
But her present manner is no different from that of another so-called female face of NHK, who in reality is nothing but an activist.
It is, in fact, the manner of the most malicious kind of person.
I know from personal experience that Prime Minister Takaichi is a person who, to an astonishing degree, refrains from criticizing rival candidates in a party leadership election.
Needless to say, she is not the kind of person who would slander or defame them.
I learned this firsthand during the first time she ran in the LDP presidential election.
At that time, I thoroughly investigated the reality of Taro Kono, whom the old media were promoting as her strongest rival.
It was this column that first pointed out online the matter of Nippon Tanshi.
Because his words and deeds did not match the fact that he was being promoted as a graduate of one of America’s well-known universities, I thoroughly investigated the reality of that university.
I then wrote my conclusion.
Taro Kono is not much different from Junichiro Koizumi.
He is a damn fool.
That was my assessment.
I suspect that someone reported, or rather tattled, to Ms. Takaichi about that article of mine.
To my surprise, Ms. Takaichi said the following.
“Please never say such things. We are all comrades and fellow members of the Liberal Democratic Party. I do not need support from anyone who says such things.”
I thought that her love for the LDP and her affection for her fellow party members went somewhat too far, and might even become a negative factor.
I myself did not feel very good about it.
Because what I had written was my firm conviction after investigating all the relevant facts.
But precisely because of that, I know this.
Prime Minister Takaichi is not the kind of person who would secretly slander or defame a rival candidate in order to bring that person down.
Therefore, from the very moment the Shukan Bunshun report appeared, I immediately recognized it as a fabricated report.
When I saw the opposition parties using it to attack Prime Minister Takaichi, and NHK reporting it as if it were fact, I was convinced once again.
The essence of Japan’s old media and opposition parties has not changed in the slightest.
They are not reporting facts.
They are merely trying to degrade Japan, degrade Prime Minister Takaichi, and create public opinion in accordance with China’s wishes.
To be continued.
