Hi Blog. \u00a0On the road at the moment, got a quick question for you:<\/p>\n

Following the recent acquisition of GPlus\u00a0Media by right-wing media conglomerate Fuji Media Holdings<\/a>, I’ve been hearing murmurs about changes in editorial policy over at Japan Today<\/a> (and Gaijin Pot) of deletion of comments that are critical of the Japanese government etc.<\/p>\n

Let’s try to go beyond murmur. \u00a0I have a reporter who would like some substantiation for an article. \u00a0Has anyone saved copies of their critical comments that were deleted? \u00a0Or if you comment there from now (keep your comments sane, please), could you keep an eye on it? (Screen captures would be nice.) \u00a0Please let Debito.org know. \u00a0Thanks.<\/p>\n

Brief entry for today. \u00a0Dr. ARUDOU, Debito<\/p>\n

Fuji TV apologizes for subtitles inaccurately quoting South Koreans<\/h1>\n<\/hgroup>\n

BY\u00a0TOMOHIRO OSAKI<\/a>\u00a0STAFF WRITER,\u00a0JUN 29, 2015<\/h5>\n<\/header>\n

Fuji TV apologized Monday for running subtitles during a show earlier this month that inaccurately described South Koreans interviewed on the street as saying they \u201chate\u201d Japan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The apology came after online criticism mounted over the weekend, with people saying the major broadcaster may have fabricated the subtitles to breed anti-Korea sentiment among the Japanese public.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When contacted by The Japan Times on Monday, Fuji TV denied such an allegation, explaining that the subtitles were simply a result of human error during the editing process and that there was absolutely no malice intended.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The show, \u201cAkira Ikegami Kinkyu Special,\u201d which translates as \u201cAkira Ikegami Emergency (or Urgent) Special,\u201d aired on June 5, a few weeks ahead of the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties between Japan and South Korea.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderated by popular freelance journalist Akira Ikegami, the program featured a segment about \u201cwhy Koreans hate the Japanese so much.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Among people interviewed on the streets of Seoul was a high school girl, who, according to the subtitles, said, \u201cI hate Japan because it tormented Korea.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

However, she can be heard saying in Korean: \u201c(South Korea) has a rich culture. I think that\u2019s why many foreigners visit us.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another, a man in his 30s, was also misrepresented. According to the subtitles, he expressed \u201chatred\u201d for this country, when in fact he was only criticizing what he called Japan\u2019s lack of remorse for its wartime atrocities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the recent acquisition of GPlus Media by right-wing media conglomerate Fuji Media Holdings, I’ve been hearing murmurs about changes in editorial policy over at Japan Today (and Gaijin Pot) of deletion of comments that are critical of the Japanese government etc.<\/p>\n

Let’s try to go beyond murmur. I have a reporter who would like some substantiation for an article. Has anyone saved copies of their critical comments that were deleted? Or if you comment there from now (keep your comments sane, please), could you keep an eye on it? (Screen captures would be nice.) Please let Debito.org know. Thanks.<\/p>\n
