The Asahi Shimbun Exposed: How a Major Newspaper Misled Japan and the World
This article exposes the Asahi Shimbun’s long record of immature yet malicious reporting.
From distorting history and enabling the rise of Communist China to undermining Japan’s economy and attacking Abenomics with shallow economic arguments, the paper’s responsibility for global misunderstanding and domestic decline is laid bare.
I have written and conveyed to the world that true truths in newspapers are often found in small columns.
In the Nikkei newspaper’s economic column “Daiki Shoki,” there are, at times, writers who produce the most accurate commentary in Japan.
February 18 was precisely one such example, but before introducing it, I must inform the world that the articles the Asahi Shimbun has been running over the past few days using its front page are astonishing pieces that fully demonstrate the true character of this newspaper—immature in nature and therefore malicious.
Unaware that the turntable of civilization has already rotated toward Japan, the Asahi Shimbun has wielded pseudo-moralism and pseudo-communism, and in doing so drove Japan—a nation that should have led the world alongside the United States—into an unprecedented deflation lasting over twenty years, creating the reality in which one out of every six children is raised in poverty.
During the same period, as a direct result of its fabricated and exaggerated reporting on events such as the so-called Nanjing Massacre, the Asahi Shimbun orchestrated enormous financial and technological assistance to China—on a scale unprecedented in human history—and by doing so emboldened China, now the greatest threat in the world and the only country where the outbreak of a Third World War is conceivable, transforming it into a major military power.
It was also the Asahi Shimbun that prolonged the life of the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party dictatorship, which should by all logic have already disappeared.
I am the first person to have made this fact known to the world.
Regarding this issue, readers should consult the related chapters I have continued to write since I was compelled to appear online in July 2010.
Not satisfied with exploiting the sale of a third-rate plot of land in Toyonaka—one plagued by severe soil contamination—as material for attacks on the Abe administration and inflating it into a supposed major scandal,
the Asahi Shimbun has now begun attacking Abenomics by maliciously wielding truly childish economic theories, specifically crude arguments about the stock market.
To be continued.
