For Whom Does NHK Report on South Korea? —Biased Reporting and Information Manipulation That Exclude Genuine Experts and Rely on Obscure Professors—

This passage sharply criticizes NHK’s reporting posture on South Korea, arguing that instead of seeking the views of truly knowledgeable specialists, it repeatedly features obscure university professors who merely echo the intentions of those controlling NHK’s news division.
By refusing to consult figures such as Hiroshi Furuta, described here as the foremost scholar of the Korean Peninsula, and Junko Miyawaki, presented as an outstanding historian of East Asia, NHK is said to embody the very extreme of biased reporting and information manipulation, amounting to a grave betrayal of the Japanese state and its people.

This is reporting in which biased coverage and information manipulation have reached an extreme, and it is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that it amounts to the worst kind of criminal act against the nation and the Japanese people.

Above all, when seeking opinions on South Korea, NHK does not ask at all for the views of Professor Hiroshi Furuta of the University of Tsukuba Graduate School, whom I regard as the finest scholar of the Korean Peninsula in the world, or of Junko Miyawaki, whom I regard as the finest historian of East Asia in the world.
Instead, it broadcasts the views of university professors unknown to anyone in Japan, who are nothing more than spokesmen for the intentions of those controlling NHK’s news division.
Such a manner of reporting is one in which biased coverage and information manipulation have reached an extreme, and it is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that it amounts to the worst kind of criminal act against the nation and the Japanese people.
