Morita vanishes from the screen

Here's a very interesting piece in the Washington Times from friend and Kuhaku contributor Takehiko Kambayashi. He's writing about our main man, Minoru Morita, and how he went from daily appearances on national TV to being unofficially banned from TV for the past two years for criticizing the government. More Americans should read Morita to understand the underlying tension between the Japanese government and those it is supposed to represent.

I sort of disagree with what Mr.Morita says about him not getting TV appearance due to criticizing the government,for there are MANY who does and still ahow up in media everyday.It is obvious that the freedom of speech is at work in Japan for those who have direct touch with daily broadcasting and written media here.Mr.Morita is busy selling his version of "cartel of mind"thesis to outside Japan watchers which something he can do at his own responsibility,however that does tell about intellectual integrity.
