Even so, NHK’s Watch 9 is terrible.
They are not reporting news; through their arbitrary editing, they are propagandizing their own ideology.
However, they probably do not even realize that.

Those who do not understand the meaning of what I am saying will understand in silence if they watch TV Tokyo’s WBS from 11 p.m.
Even so, the awfulness of Wakuda’s announcing…
But it is no exaggeration at all to say that her announcing and comments are among the most malicious.
What she is doing is not reporting, but pseudo-moralism, the denigration of Japan through a masochistic historical view, pseudo-political correctness, etc.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that it is the worst in the history of television reporting.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that she is the exact reverse of the North Korean auntie announcer.
Now Arima is carrying out the same kind of propaganda.
The “creepiness” of this program is unprecedented.
Even now, Arima is again shamelessly doing narration in a raised pitch.
The Sanrio auntie airs interviews that are full of “predetermined conclusions” in line with their intentions, denigrating Japan and making Japan look small.
They probably do not even notice the abnormality of Arima’s narration.
It was my first time seeing the Sanrio auntie, and while it is fine that Sanrio’s pseudo-moralism is wearing clothes, she should stop proudly criticizing Japan.
