The other day conservative politicians and commentators lashed out at “liberal bias” in the media, particularly in Okinawa: — start quote — Novelist Naoki Hyakuta’s claim that the two newspapers of Okinawa should be shut down is an example of suppression of free speech; media will only be allowed to report on what meets the intentions of the administration. — end quote — http://english.ryukyushimpo.jp/2015/07/02/19059/ The politician who organized the event is Kihara Minoru, who represents a district in Kumamoto. http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002251855
