WTF JT, I ain't bein offensive

Postby IparryU » Mon Jan 26, 2015 3:20 pm

OK, So i wanted to make a post on Japan Today, but they say I am cussing...

This is what I want to post:
I use Paypal a lot, but the amount of effort required to open a Paypal Japan account is time consuming. I can understand proving who you are and proving where you live for security purposes. But having to get a 6 digit code by registered mail to activate your account is a bit far out there...

Other than that, I love their platform!

I just dont get it... :wall:

Tried to post a comment on JT about the criticism of Abe, and it gets rejected! WTF Japan today, does this comment seem so terrible it needs to be stricken from the internet?

This is to inform you that your message on JapanToday.com
has been removed for the following reason:
Offensive/vulgar

"I was surprised to learn that Abe knew that the two were being held by ISIS before he made his announcement. I wonder if this was a calculated move by him and some of his right wing cronies to get Japan pulled into this conflict, thus allowing them the pretext to force on Japan a real military. Last year with all the problems with China and Korea over the Senkaku's and Takeshima Island, the Japanese were not very willing to allow the country to re-militarize. But now, there seems to be a shift in public opinion, which plays right into Abe's hands. Also, China and Korea have been extremely quiet over this whole issue. I know this sounds like a real conspiracy theory, but I wouldn't put it past Abe and his ilk!"

Looks like they are under the control of a higher power...

They are owned by GPlus Media Co who also own and started with Gaijinpot. And Metropolis magazine. And that says it all - Their output is driven solely by the commercial interests of the proprietors. Anyone who says anything that doesn't align with those interests is silenced. Isn't private control of the news great? Manufacturing the truth as someone once called it.

It is just getting harder and harder to get any kind of decent news. I have a hard time watching NHK with their pro-Abe, pro-jiminto bias. Now Japan Today have become stooges for their corporate overlords. I know it is no better back in North America with Fox on one side, MSNBC on the other and CNN somewhere in between, but where can you turn to to try and find something truthful?

Then where "Oh Great One" do you recommend we go to get factual, non-biased news on Japan?

While I tend to want to put on the tinfoil hat with you, most of the people I've heard commenting about "Haruna chaaan" and "crazy mama Goto Jogo Kenji" seem to be of the opinion "they had no business being there and it's not the J-gov's responsibility to bail them out." Then again, I guess it doesn't matter what most people think now as long as 10 years from now, the reasoning looks good on paper.

I'd refer you to the BBC, the ABC and CBC who are publicly funded and accountable but not under government control. NHK regrettably is publicly funded, under government control and not accountable.

I know some Scottish nationalists who would disagree about the BBC not being a puppet of Westminster.

NHK was what I was thinking of but it's not even the extreme like China and Best Korea...

ABC, CBC, and the BBC all have plenty of "biased!" claims against them as well. I don't think it's ever possible to eliminate bias...but you can try try to keep it in check by offering opposing views on anything.

Lots of people say lots of things. If they can show evidence, then I might believe them. It is true that it is the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation and not the SCOTTISH Broadcasting Corporation. Does that make it a puppet of the British Government? I would say the evidence is that it does not. It is true that it isn't the puppet of Scottish Nationalists either, but I have heard plenty about their views and they have had many opportunities to make their case. Their problem was they couldn't persuade enough people of it.

It's true no-one gets it right all the time no matter how hard you try. However, I would say the record of the public broadcasters I cited stands very favourable comparison with privately owned media in terms of trying to be accurate and unbiased and for presenting/allowing different points of view. And some of the most powerful private organisations set the bar very low.

Don't know... But Japan Today's news for the last 10 years has always been akin to "News for foreigners against foreigners". With soul sucking comment section lead by a barely english speaking army of mod dumber than a crossbreeding experiment leftover between Takechimp and a rock.
Sooo... I really don't know how they fit in the whole unbiased scale of things... But I think "sucking better than a Dyson" would be a good evaluation.
The only thing JT had going for them was to be relatively on time for reporting highway crash or dog run over by trucks unlike the other Pravda level clowns who seemed to need 24 to 48 hours to translate an article no matter how time sensitive the news was.

It's not because I'm pointing issues that I have a solution.
and being japan need to remind that...
It's not because there appears to be no easy solution that there is no problems.

Fair enough...but what is the solution in places like Japan, where you either tow the line or get your press credentials pulled?
