The following is from the serial column of Masayuki Takayama, who brings the weekly Shincho released yesterday to a successful conclusion.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
It is a must-read article that all voters must read before they cast their ballots on October 31.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people all over the world.
The Asahi should die alone.
When did the collapse of the Asahi Shimbun begin?
We know the exact date and place. The moment was a party debate hosted by the Japan Press Club at the Press Center Building just before the inauguration of the second Abe administration.
The main feature of the debate was that the Press Club held a kangaroo court with the leaders of the governing parties in the form of a press conference.
By the way, there are four questioners, and Asahi, Mainichi, Yomiuri, and Nikkei monopolize.
In this way, there is a concern that the red Asahi and Mainichi will dominate, and there was a move to include Sankei.
However, the Chinese are attached to Asahi, Mainichi, and Nikkei.
It is said that this external pressure has stopped the reorganization talks.
As usual, Hoshi Hiroshi of Asahi was in charge of this questioning.
The Asahi had a grudge against Abe.
Abe openly condemned Asahi in "Gentlemen," and the "NHK program alteration" that Asahi wrote intending to destroy Abe was quickly exposed as a fabrication and suffered severely.
Asahi hated Abe so much that someone said, "We will pay for Abe's funeral."
So Hoshi first questioned him about his visit to Yasukuni Shrine.
Hoshi asked Abe if he was making enemies of China and Korea.
The answer was the same as Sanae Takaichi's this time.
Abe simply said, "So what?"
Hoshi asked about the comfort women issue that the world was criticizing.
"Hoshi-san, wasn't it your Asahi newspaper that spread the lies of a fraud named Seiji Yoshida?"
In a nationally televised interview, he replied, "Asahi has spread fake news for 30 years."
Hoshi also knows that the comfort women story is a lie.
But he thought it was not such a bad lie if it fit the historical view of the Tokyo Trials. it had questioned him
However, this was the first time it had questioned him head-on, and Hoshi was dismayed into silence.
It was the beginning of the collapse of Asahi.
After that, the company collapsed steadily, but the groundwork was there. The Asahi had been writing lies without mercy.
For example, it said that the Miyakonojyo 23 regiment had committed the Nanking Massacre and that the Japanese military smoke screen was poison gas.
It has even scribbled graffiti on coral and abused the "Japanese."
The Asahi's only good lie was that it made North Korea into a paradise and urged the Japanese to return to Japan.
The rest were just prickly and disgusting lies.
It's no surprise that Asahi's subscriptions are down by half, but just no remorse.
Asahi wants to write whatever lies they want.
And they want to destroy Abe, who has put Asahi in a problematic situation.
So, they verified the past lies and made a discovery.
It blamed them because they wrote a total lie as "this is a fact."
Then Asahi realized that it should not write it as fact.
If they write that there are suspicions, it's not misinformation, even if it's not true.
And that's easy.
So began the denunciation of Abe's "suspicions" by editorial director Seiki Nemoto.
The first one was Moritomo Gakuen. Abe's wife gave a speech, and the Ministry of Finance discounted the purchase of the school's land.
They could write that it was suspicious.
However, the park in Toyonaka City next door is cheaper than Moritomo, and Kiyomi Tsujimoto, who has a record of embezzling public funds, is involved. The suspicion is more vital there.
"Don't write that. We write about suspicions to destroy Abe, not to report facts."
Abe's friends also approved Kake Gakuen over the objections of the veterinary medical association. It is suspicious. But it is Ishiba, who is closer to the veterinary medical association, which is more doubtful.
"We don't report the facts. Leave Ishiba alone. Just write that Abe is suspicious."
In the midst of all this, there was a party leadership debate.
Hoshi's successor, Yuzuru Tsuboi, blamed Abe for the Kake Gakuen issue.
Abe said, "Asahi did not report the testimony of prefectural governor Kato," and conversely pointed out that Asahi had stopped reporting the facts.
When Yuzuru clammed up, Abe repeatedly asked, "Can you say with pride that you reported the facts?"
Yuzuru turned red and put on a brave face. "The audience erupted in laughter," said Rui Abiru in his column.
The collapse of Asahi gained momentum with it.
But Nemoto was not to be deterred.
He got the wife of the Ministry of Finance employee who committed suicide at Moritomo to clamor for the release of the Akagi memo.
He creates a public stir by telling the wife of a Ministry of Finance employee who committed suicide at Moritomo to "release the Akagi memo."
When it was made public, the person himself COMPLETELY denied the allegations, saying that he had not made an unfair discount.
The suicide seemed to have been caused by the pressure of opposition party members, including Hiroyuki Konishi, who had made a fuss over the Asahi report.
The report on the allegations was still being used in the lower house election, and criticism of Abe appeared in the Asahi papers.
The opposition parties are also promoting Asahi's favorite policy of retaining separate family names for husbands and wives as pillars of their policies.
The foolishness of going along with the dying Asahi is very funny.
