This essay criticizes Mainichi Broadcasting’s Chichin Puipui, TBS, the Asahi Shimbun, Wakamiya Yoshibumi, Chikushi Tetsuya, and the media methods described by Masayuki Takayama, arguing that television shapes public opinion through seemingly ordinary presenters and commentators while promoting anti-Abe and anti-Japanese narratives.

I am also convinced that that bald-headed host and this man Matsuo are probably not genuine Japanese.
The hatred and rudeness toward Prime Minister Abe shown by that man Matsuo cannot possibly be those of a genuine Japanese.
This is a chapter I published on this day last year, under the title, “The Man Hosting Mainichi Broadcasting’s Chichin Puipui Sells Himself on His Bald Head and His Good-Natured Appearance.”

The man hosting Mainichi Broadcasting’s Chichin Puipui sells himself on his bald head and his good-natured appearance.
Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, revealed and taught us the inside story, or rather the truth, of how the Asahi Shimbun persistently attacked and buried the first Abe administration.
He did so from a dialogue conducted in the Asahi’s internal company bulletin by two unpleasant men, Wakamiya Yoshibumi and Chikushi Tetsuya.
Claiming that an age had come in which television creates politics, these two men revealed their, that is, the Asahi Shimbun’s, method of forming public opinion.
Not everyone needs to read the Asahi’s editorials.
They assign an Asahi Shimbun editorial to a man with the appearance of an uncle who might be found in any neighborhood, and make him read it before going on air.
In that way, they form public opinion.
I realized that the man with the bald head, who seems merely to be wearing a sign saying, “I am a good-natured person,” fits exactly this pattern.
As for commentators as well, the two men mentioned above had said that they make people of poor intelligence read the editorials.
On that day, a certain Matsuo was commenting while exposing truly astonishing anti-Abe emotion.
I am also convinced that that bald-headed host and this man Matsuo are probably not genuine Japanese.
The hatred and rudeness toward Prime Minister Abe shown by that man Matsuo cannot possibly be those of a genuine Japanese.
That is because it is exactly the same manner as the mass media of the Korean Peninsula.
Moreover, the bald-headed host, who nodded along as though that were natural and then developed the criticism further, showed exactly the same manner.
That a company called TBS is openly allowed by the Japanese government to hold a privileged oligopoly over the airwaves is surely one of the extremes of Japan’s foolishness.
