The media love affair with Caroline Kennedy

[canman]

I can't believe the amount of air time Caroline Kennedy is getting here in Japan! I guess it is Camelot coming to Japan, but for Christ's sake, you'd think she was the second coming of, well, Christ! Not sure what her qualifications were, other than being a big donor to the Obama campaign, but watching the Japanese media fall all over themselves reporting about her, you'd think she was the greatest person in the world. I guess Japan really does love celebrities, of any kind!

I think that dangerous German criminal running amok in Sendai is still leading in press coverage...

The other day they dedicated a good 10 minutes of airtime to how ikemen her son is.

This is a good thing.
America has given Japan a nice present.
America treats Japan as an important country!
Japan is pleased.
Look, China! See what America gave us!
Nyah nyah nyah ...

(My personal opinion: this was a really smart diplomatic move on the part of the US.)

Yup, lineage. Nice call.
And that's part of the reason why it's such a smart move.

I agree it was a smart move, but the same would have been achieved by appointing Micky Mouse as ambassador,
Anything to keep the sheeple entertained for a few years..

Japan investigates death threats to US Ambassador Kennedy

Japanese police are investigating phone calls threatening to kill U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and another American envoy, authorities said Wednesday.

The calls to the U.S. Embassy targeted Kennedy and Alfred Magleby, the U.S. consul general on the southern island of Okinawa, according to an Okinawa police official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on an investigation by Tokyo authorities.

Yakuza Backed Right Wing Group Behind Caroline Kennedy Death Threats?
thedailybeast.com | 2015/03/18 by Jake Adelstein
...The calls to the embassy were made last month by a man who spoke English, but with a possibly Japanese accent. The reports suggested that the threats might have been part of a scheme to blackmail Kennedy or the embassy.
A police officer on background said that among many suspects they were looking at several right-wing groups in Japan backed by the yakuza, Japan’s omnipresent mafia. One group high on the lists of suspects is Daikosha, the political arm of the Inagawa-kai, Japan’s third largest yakuza organization...
...the Japanese police consider it {Daikosha} a part of the Inagawa-kai itself. While ostensibly supporting a return to an Emperor based constitution and being extremely nationalist, a large number of its members are Korean-Japanese.
