Certain opposition parties that have no policy, no political creed, no pride, nothing at all, but do have malice, and the left-wing media, for whom authenticity, the relative importance of matters, and priorities all become irrelevant as long as they can attack the administration.
The following is from today’s Sankei Shimbun, from “A Word from the Editorial Writer.”

This year will probably be a year in which certain opposition parties that have no policy, no political creed, no pride, nothing at all, but do have malice, and the left-wing media, for whom authenticity, the relative importance of matters, and priorities all become irrelevant as long as they can attack the administration, will be held in even greater contempt by the public.
Even when the facts are verified one after another on the internet, and their logical collapse and blatant falsehoods are seen through, they shut their eyes and ears, but they will be abandoned more and more by the public.
I only hope they do not drag this newspaper down with them.
