This essay presents essential facts exposed by Masayuki Takayama, revealing the irresponsibility of Japanese TV commentators and the distortion of media discourse—facts that the United Nations and its Special Rapporteurs must confront, especially as China’s influence deepens.

These are facts that must be read by all Japanese citizens and people around the world, and in particular by the United Nations and its Special Rapporteurs—a body that can hardly be said not to be completely dominated today by China, a one-party communist dictatorship that is the world’s largest and worst human rights–violating state, brazenly occupying a permanent seat on the Security Council despite the fact that the original permanent member was the Republic of China.
In the current issue of the monthly magazine Sound Argument, Masayuki Takayama has contributed a genuine essay to the special feature titled “Idiot-God-Praising Wide Shows.”
The following continues from the previous chapter.
Former partner Nobuo Asai, regarding the infamous poisoned Chinese dumpling incident, said, “It must have been Japanese who wanted to destroy Japan–China friendship who planted the poison in Japan.”
The organization praised that statement.
In that sense, there is no business more carefree than that of a commentator.
Picking up some of their recent carefree remarks.
On a Sunday when North Korea launched a high-altitude missile, on TBS’s Sunday Morning.
The missile, which even cleared atmospheric reentry, is a major threat to Japan.
One might have wondered how they would discuss, in real time, a literal case of “a madman with a blade,” but it was reduced to only three minutes of raw news footage.
Hiroshi Sekiguchi ended it with, “They do unnecessary things.”
What exactly was unnecessary?
Using the North Korean threat as a pretext, Abe has steadily strengthened military capabilities and deepened military cooperation with the United States.
The program had probably planned to harshly criticize this as “Abe’s reckless behavior.”
That plan was ruined because something “unnecessary” happened.
That is likely what he meant.
Perhaps for that reason, the program felt sluggish.
Terashima Jitsuro’s incomprehensible talk, always prefaced with “In the United States,” has become nothing but painful.
Akira Aoki, who loves Korea more than Koreans themselves, repeats like a broken record, “Dialogue with the North.”
Even the United States, which had provided three hundred million dollars in aid through dialogue to a country that has committed abductions, terrorism, and nuclear provocations at will, has now said it can no longer negotiate.
How, then, does one negotiate with such a criminal state?
It is a textbook example of the hollowness of commentators.
To be continued.
