The Mizuhara Case and Reporting on Ohtani: What Should the MThe Mizuhara Case and Reporting on Ohtani: What Should the Media Have Investigated?edia Have Investigated?

It is clear that Koreans in the United States are not 100 percent satisfied with Ohtani’s success.
A rough draft concerning the unexpected news about interpreter Mizuhara.
This essay has repeatedly referred to the terrible anti-Japanese education in South Korea—that is, Nazism—initiated by the dictator Syngman Rhee and continuing to this day.
It is natural that people raised with this anti-Japanese education become Nazis.
Unlike Japan, on which the GHQ imposed a foolish constitution, South Korea’s constitution does not state that the country will not have an army.
Therefore, there was no obstacle to South Korea entering the Vietnam War on behalf of its military ally, the United States.
In return, more than 300,000 Koreans were granted places within immigration quotas for the United States.
Therefore, there are far more Koreans than Japanese people in the United States.
There are a considerable number of Korean Americans in the Democratic Party.
There are also many Koreans in California.
That is why the season-opening game between the Dodgers and the Padres was held in South Korea.
I was concerned that anti-Japanese Koreans, particularly those in California, might not take any action against Ohtani.
When this incident occurred, I thought, “That is what I had thought.”
What kind of person is the illegal gambling organizer who approached interpreter Mizuhara in 2021?
I suspect that he was a Korean American or a Korean living in the United States.
If the media are a group of journalists, they should investigate that point first.
However, the other night, I happened to watch TV Asahi’s evening news program hosted by Okoshi.
The report was presented as though Ohtani, too, was under suspicion.
They should have reported who had approached interpreter Mizuhara, or what kind of person that individual was.
That alone was a major success for anti-Japanese Koreans seeking to damage Ohtani’s immense popularity and the admiration directed toward him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Koreans living in Japan control Japanese television stations’ news programs.
Various people have reported this.
It is clear that Koreans in the United States are not 100 percent satisfied with Ohtani’s success.
Last year, Ichiro began facing attacks that created discord within the team and moved to the Yankees.
It is clear that anti-Japanese Koreans fueled hostility toward Ichiro on social media at the time.
