This article examines the structural distortion of Japan’s broadcast and print media—TBS, NHK, TV Asahi, and Asahi Shimbun—through the lens of North Korean, Chinese, and Chongryon influence, drawing on Masayuki Takayama’s revelations published in Sound Argument and exposing the coordinated attacks on Prime Minister Abe as a threat to Japan’s national interest.

I previously discovered and reported that a TBS employee had published on the internet a detailed paper explaining how TBS was taken over by Chongryon.

In the current issue of the monthly magazine Sound Argument, Masayuki Takayama explains that during the period when Hisanari Isomura served as host, merely stating the undeniable fact that North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel at the outbreak of the Korean War triggered a flood of furious protests from Chongryon against NHK, causing NHK to panic and prompting Isomura to bow deeply and apologize on air, after which NHK has never once conveyed the simple fact that North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel.
Who can say that, following this incident, TBS was not forced to promise preferential hiring of the children of Chongryon executives?
In the details of today’s news coverage, I sense their presence everywhere.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current male anchor of Watch 9 is a perfect puppet for such people.
Of course, compared with the unspeakably atrocious reporting of TV Asahi, it is far better.
Takayama also teaches us that, taking advantage of the GHQ occupation policy at the time of defeat—“Japan is a bad country that did bad things to China and Korea”—many Chongryon affiliates, Koreans, and Chinese infiltrated media organizations including NHK.
Along that extension lies the unbelievable reality that the foreign news desk chief at TV Asahi was educated up through high school at Chongryon schools and graduated from Peking University.
In order to bring down Prime Minister Abe—arguably the greatest statesman in Japan’s history, leading a nation where the Turntable of Civilization is rotating and which must lead the world alongside the United States for the next 170 years—
despite his risking himself in a grueling, near-lethal schedule to conduct globe-spanning diplomacy,
despite demonstrating in the G7 a capacity fully befitting a Japanese prime minister even when compared with Merkel, who has remained in office for nearly sixteen years,
they stage the Moritomo and Kake affairs, involving private individuals and opposition politicians who can hardly be described as anything other than agents, with Chinese and Korean intelligence agencies acting behind the scenes.
Yet NHK, in reality a state-run broadcaster, does not utter even a single comment that “this relentless attack on Prime Minister Abe harms the national interest.”
On the contrary, just last night, it aligned itself with them, reporting that according to NHK’s investigation, some Ministry of Education officials had seen certain emails.
Unlike TV Asahi’s hysterical frenzy, NHK does so more subtly, but in alignment nonetheless.
The time has long since come for the Japanese people to investigate whether among NHK personnel conducting such investigations there are Chongryon affiliates or agents compromised by honey traps from Chinese or Korean intelligence services, and whether similar individuals exist among the Ministry of Education officials who cooperated.
Chinese and Korean Peninsula intelligence services operate openly and without restraint in Japan, and they are thoroughly professional organizations.
To think they are doing nothing in a spy heaven like Japan is merely to prove that one possesses the intellect of a kindergarten child or less.
It goes without saying that the only ones inconvenienced by the anti-terrorism legislation are they and their agents.
From that perspective, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Asahi Shimbun is not a Japanese newspaper company, but an agent of theirs.
Whenever I encounter The Asahi’s frenzied attacks on Prime Minister Abe, I recall a recent experience at a shop in Arashiyama.
A young Chinese woman was working part-time there, wearing a name tag.
As we spoke about where she came from, she said, “I like all Japanese people except Prime Minister Abe.”
The moment I gently corrected her, she was called back into the shop.
She had spoken unwittingly about how she had been educated in China.
How much difference is there between her words and the Asahi Shimbun’s relentless reporting?
Today, Asahi Shimbun is sustained by China and the Korean Peninsula, and by people who can hardly be described as anything other than their agents.
By continuing to act in direct opposition to protecting Japan’s national interest and the honor and credibility of the Japanese people, they are no longer Japanese media at all.
