Mark Buckton 1 Posted January 31, 2004 Key point left unsaid in the post above (or potentially unrealised) is the location of Maru's interview. The FCC is the standard place for those who find it hard to get a hearing in the domestic kisha clubs (press clubs) but have something to say. To that extent his comments can be considered to an extent 'unwanted' by the establishment. ANR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Buckton 1 Posted January 31, 2004 (edited) Yubi - your post can be read one of two ways. a. - you don't know of the press system of Japan - whereby the answer to your question isn't no. That doesn't mean yes mind. b. - you are trying to pick holes in a net (my comments) whereby the answer is a probable (not definite) yes. ANR EDIT - LEAVING THIS ONE UP - Yubi-san posted and saw fit to remove. Edited January 31, 2004 by Adachinoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genarally the Asahi is regarded as more of a leftie paper if you are interested. Lots of quotes from Maru left out by J Times / Yomiuri that, and I haven't checked this, but bet 1000yen (to charity) have not been included by the J language media.
