The following is an article that I sent out to the world on 2016-05-26, titled "Japan is holding the G7 as the chair country in Ise-Shima. Rather than wishing for its success, it is denying it entirely."
I couldn't watch the news related to the Ise-Shima Summit from the beginning on NHK's watch9, so I thought, "Well, on a day like today, they'll probably at least give a fair account of the summit without broadcasting anything crazy," and switched the channel to TV Asahi's "News Station."
Rather than being appalled, I can only describe the Asahi Shimbun as abnormal.
I thought about how I had wasted so many years of my life subscribing to and reading this newspaper without suspicion.
Surprisingly, the Asahi Shimbun does not know it is responsible for Japan's "lost 20 years."
Moreover, they said Japan's long-term deflation was inevitable, and advanced countries would be the same in the future.
It doesn't get any more appalling than this.
The man speaking was Makoto Hara, whom I had seen in the paper from time to time.
Anyone who has been watching and has come to understand the true nature of the Asahi Shimbun since August of last year must have gone beyond being appalled and felt anger.
It must have been an intense anger.
Anyway, he continued to attack Prime Minister Abe with the kind of childish viciousness that is truly characteristic of kindergarteners.
Is this newspaper company even a Japanese newspaper company?
Japan is holding the G7 summit in Ise-Shima as the chair country.
Instead of wishing for its success, it is denying it altogether.
I thought that the Asahi Shimbun had become little more than a gangster.
A man like Makoto Hara may be proud in his narrow world, but all the ordinary Japanese citizens are genuinely appalled.
It's not often that you come across such a bizarre show.
They are manipulating viewers by using their network of journalists to make it seem as if their voices are the voices of the world.
The Asahi Shimbun is not the only newspaper with this problem. Reporters who are the same kind as the German journalist in question—that is, not only do they read the Asahi Shimbun for free, but they also appear on screen as sympathizers of the German and British journalists—also have this problem.
I was also appalled by the attitude of a man called Makoto Hara.
He is an editorial writer for a newspaper like the Asahi Shimbun, yet he is ignorant of the damage he has caused to Japan and the Japanese people. He is still working hard to undermine the Japanese prime minister and Japan.
Just as I thought the man had finished talking, she started talking about "Asahi's Okinawa" with a look on her face that suggested she also had the same condition as the woman (the woman's eyes also looked unusual...in other words, she had the look of an irredeemable follower of the Asahi Shimbun religion).
I couldn't bear to watch any more of this strange program,
Naturally, I couldn't take it any longer, so I switched channels, and a comedian came on.
