The news is probably one of the most predatory and manipulative media organs the world has ever seen. The other day I was riding the bullet train from Tokyo to Fukuoka. There was an LCD screen in each car, and between announcing stations and maybe the weather, they repeated only two blurbs from the national broadcasting system during the whole trip: the murder of a couple in their apartment in Tokyo and the search for a missing child, presumably kidnapped and murdered, in Aichi prefecture. Now, I understand that terrible, horrible things are happening in this world every single day. I don't need the news to tell me that; they've been telling me that my whole life. And why would the executives at a highbrow organization like NHK choose to feed commuters such trash, over and over? I think fear is an energy, and the media wants to keep us in fear. We'll want to find something to relieve that fear, and that's why commercials and media go together. I know it sounds simple, like something everybody already knows. But are we really aware of it, isn't it working, and isn't it true? That's just my opinion.
