Media Blasted For Coverage On Assassination Of Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe – By Zach Jewell (Daily Wire) / July 8, 2022
Multiple legacy media outlets were slammed Friday for their coverage of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination.
Taxpayer-funded NPR was criticized after describing Abe as a “divisive arch-conservative” in a now-deleted tweet, and NBC’s “Today” show was blasted after it showed flags from the wrong country during their segment on Abe’s assassination.
“When Fidel Castro died, NPR called him a ‘prominent international figure,’” former Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) tweeted. “On Yasser Arafat’s death ‘a freedom fighter.’ On Prime Minister’s [Abe]’s assassination, NPR’s statement: ‘a divisive arch-conservative and an ultranationalist.’ Brought to you by your US tax dollars.”
