Following the fact that a chapter published on February 28, 2019 entered the top ten in search rankings, this passage discusses the continuity between GHQ occupation policy, the Chinese Communist Party’s methods of indoctrinating Japanese prisoners of war, and the reporting posture of NHK in contemporary Japan.
Triggered by the writer’s strong sense of discomfort at a comment made by anchor Arima on the previous night’s News Watch 9, it argues that the true source of recurring biased reporting and impression manipulation lies not in Japan as a nation, but in the institutional culture of outlets such as the Asahi Shimbun and NHK.
It further offers a severe critique of the left-leaning institutional culture, labor-union mentality, and lack of a proper national perspective that, in the author’s view, remain embedded in Japan’s postwar media sphere.

Of course, the truth is probably that, knowing all this, they were indoctrinating the prisoners as spies of the Chinese Communist Party, trying to drive a wedge between the nation and the people and to provoke a people’s revolution.

The chapter I posted on 2019-02-28 under the title, “It is NHK’s own employees whose misconduct occurs repeatedly, and it is NHK that repeatedly broadcasts biased programs and manipulative reporting by people under the influence of China and the Soviet Union,” has now entered the top ten in search rankings.
Genuine experts who never appear in Asahi or NHK have taught us that when GHQ occupied Japan, it took as a reference the Chinese Communist Party’s indoctrination of Japanese military prisoners.
That is to say…。
They indoctrinated the prisoners into turning against their own nation by using the logic that the people were not bad, that the bad one was the government, meaning the state.
If the Chinese Communist Party, or Mao Zedong, had known the true state of Japan at that time, would they not have indoctrinated them by saying: the people are not bad, the nation is not bad either, what is bad is the newspapers and NHK?…。
Of course, the truth is probably that, knowing all this, they were indoctrinating the prisoners as spies of the Chinese Communist Party, trying to estrange the nation and the people and to stir up a people’s revolution.
The reason I realized this this morning was that I felt an intense sense of discomfort at Arima’s comment on last night’s News Watch 9.
Probably not a single viewer other than myself realized that his comment came out of the very institutional nature of NHK, and of Asahi, Mainichi, Tokyo, and Chunichi Shimbun, and of their television stations.
Quite calmly, he said the following.
Referring to the statistics problem at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, he said, “Things like this happen frequently….”
And I thought…。
Wait a minute.
Is Japan really such a careless country?
Surely not.
On the contrary, is it not the finest country in the world?
Moreover, it is the one and only country in the world so generous and bottomlessly peace-loving that it even lets foreigners, especially Chinese, use its health insurance; a country whose people are the most diligent and serious in the world, whose craftsmen are the finest in the world, which continues to produce the finest products in the world, a country with the safest food in the world and the most delicious cuisine in the world…。
A country where restaurants serving all kinds of delicious food exist everywhere.
That is Japan, and there is no other Japan besides that.
The place where employee misconduct occurs repeatedly is NHK itself, and it is NHK that repeatedly airs biased programs and impression manipulation by people under the influence of China and the Soviet Union.
To be continued.

Postscript.
I am now convinced that on News Watch 9, which may well be called NHK’s flagship program, a man who is no more than a mere NHK employee…。
That is, a man drawing a high salary from the taxes of the Japanese people…。
calls himself an anchor and not only fires off comments with the face of some omniscient and omnipotent god, like a righteous Moonlight Mask,
but adopts a style in which he stages a little picture-show of instructing the foolish Kuwako beside him…。
as though she were meant to represent the foolish public.
He is unquestionably a man who rose from the NHK labor union…。
At the very least, he must have had union experience, and surely deep ties as well with Jichirō, Nikkyōso, and the like.
All of his comments side with the opposition parties, and as for the absurdity of what the opposition is saying, or else…。
Is that really what ought to be discussed now?
Is not the nation’s security policy the urgent issue?
Is that not precisely why constitutional revision is necessary?
Can Japan really leave the Self-Defense Forces in a state of unconstitutionality?
Is it acceptable for a country to rely on the Self-Defense Forces only in times of disaster?
As every viewer knows, he has never commented even once on such matters.
As is generally the case with rotten organizations, the more they side with the opposition and put on a stern face to deliver stern comments against the nation, the more unbearable it is to watch their soft, indulgent expressions when dealing with their own people and their fawning exchanges with insiders.
That is generally the form that all such good-for-nothings take.
Namely, lenient with insiders and severe toward the outside…。
A true body of journalists ought, rather, to be severe toward its own side and to direct a spirit of tolerance outward.
