Dingo would like to see a recurring "65 years ago in the Asahi today" feature, inasmuch as the Asahi was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of, and apologists for, Japanese militarism and fascism at the time. Maybe that explains its peculiar obsessive dislike to this day of the US and China.

Oh yeah..! I think it was Asahi that used to release online streaming video clips from old newsreel archives, I used to watch them every week. Sometimes you'd get wartime clips full of old militaristic stuff, it was fascinating. I wish they'd put them back up online.
