TL;DR Am 8. Oktober postete Takako Suzuki, PR-Direktorin bei DP, auf "Ich werde Ihre Zustimmungsrate herabsetzen". Suzuki bemerkte, dass es, auch wenn es ein Scherz sei, ein sehr bedauerlicher Kommentar sei, wenn man bedenke, dass die Medien unparteiisch und politisch fair sein sollten.
Das Video war eine Live-Aufnahme vom 7. Oktober in der LDP-Parteizentrale, wo Takaichi Interviews geben sollte. Zu den Audioaufnahmen gehörte auch die Stimme, die sagte: "Ich veröffentliche nur Fotos, die Ihre Zustimmungsrate senken". Es scheint, dass die Mikrofone die Gespräche der wartenden Presse aufgefangen haben.

It seems some articles by a press aren’t any better than the social media posts.
Before I heard this I’d seen photos of Takaichi in articles on her victory that looked **awful** and had wondered why they would choose them, now I have my answer. Its not simply partisan journalism, it shows an extreme level of ignorance of and disinterest in the the welfare of the Japanese state. I don’t like the LDP and of the candidates Takaichi is far from optimal but now she’s in the driver’s seat, if she crashes out and gets replaced in a year or less it will simply mean another weakening of the Yen and further paralysis in any innovative policy creation.
Attempts to undermine her as an individual (rather than criticizing her policies as a leader) will only boost political polarization, weaken Japan’s image on the international stage, and make the country look like an unsafe place for foreign investment. Political journalists who disregard such factors in favor of childish acts of petty sabotage don’t deserve the responsibilities they hold.
Is this also a part of the destroying old media movement? Political approval rating highly depends on sns now, which is a disaster for everyone. Only the most horrible words can be seen on sns
Can we get a post title that makes sense?
Who said this? The interviewer?
The so-called major media have abused „freedom of the press“ and manipulated information to instill their own political beliefs and ideologies in the public. This propaganda activity was particularly evident in the pre-Internet era, when information sources were limited and people relied on television and newspapers. With the spread of the Internet, people have access to multiple sources of information, both domestic and international, and this practice has become widely known, but it continues to this day.
