Shame on Reporters Without Borders: The False Ranking That Slanders Japan, the World’s Freest Media Nation
Despite enjoying unparalleled press freedom, Japan has been deliberately misranked by Reporters Without Borders. This essay exposes the political motives, domestic collaborators, and ideological bias behind these misleading global press freedom rankings.

People of the international NGO Reporters Without Borders (headquartered in Paris), you should be ashamed.
Although Japan is in reality the country with by far the greatest degree of press freedom in the world, organizations such as Reporters Without Borders—an entity undeniably intertwined with Asahi Shimbun, so-called cultural elites, civic groups, and self-styled human-rights lawyers—have issued utterly ridiculous announcements claiming that Japan ranks last among the G7 and 72nd in the world.
Asahi Shimbun, displaying a level of foolishness beyond description, gleefully reports these claims.
This is directed at Japan, a country with bottomless press freedom, to the extent that it even tolerates placing a bona fide elite of Chongryon—an organization that operates exactly in line with North Korea’s intentions, whose members openly retain Korean names and thus presumably Korean nationality—not merely within a subsidiary, but as a desk editor in the foreign affairs division of TV Asahi, one of the six networks monopolizing nationwide television broadcasting in Japan.
In a country that could be described without exaggeration as a spy heaven, where NHK and other major broadcasters not only allow but promote individuals connected to states that pursue anti-Japan propaganda as a national policy, it is time to stop uttering the absurd claim that Japan’s press freedom ranks 72nd in the world.
If there were any country with greater press freedom than Japan, such a country would no longer exist.
Until three years ago, some people may have been deceived by your malicious conduct, but you should know that such Japanese citizens no longer exist.
People of the international NGO Reporters Without Borders (headquartered in Paris), you should be ashamed.
If you do not understand shame, what awaits you is nothing less than the merciless torment of King Enma in hell.
