Isn't it true that Asahi is a fake newspaper of the fake era, which does not report facts and changes its principles for convenience?

Why did Asahi describe it as "made up of citizens" in the manner of "nonpartisan"?

The following is from Masayuki Takayama's latest book as a paperback, which we introduced yesterday.
Almost every chapter proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.

Fake newspaper in the age of fakes
When I went to some national election, a ballot for the ward mayor election came along. 
I have a sense of being a Tokyo resident but not a ward resident.
If I had to guess, I would say that the license plate number of my car is assigned to "Nerima" or "Adachi," depending on the ward where I live.
It is a wonder that even the best cars look cheap when they have "Adachi" on their license plate numbers. 
I don't know who the ward's mayor is because I am only aware of that level of recognition.
Above the mayor is the governor of Tokyo, and there is also the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, which has nothing better to do.
I was surprised when I saw the list of candidates, thinking, "Why don't they stop holding expensive elections and let the governor appoint them like in the old days? 
I expected to be able at least to judge the candidates by their political party affiliation, but they were all unaffiliated. 
That should not be.
I know from experience that Communist Party members always infiltrate such petty elections.
Rolling over a pencil is quite likely to make the Communist Party happy. 
After voting, I asked my wife and daughter how they distinguished "all independent," they said they left it to chance. 
When they asked me how I did, I told them that I abstained from voting because I thought there was a reasonably high probability that the result would be unpleasant. 
His nonpartisanship became an issue in the upcoming Chiba gubernatorial election. 
Kensaku Morita, who won the election, fought as an independent.
In reality, however, he was still a member of the Liberal Democratic Party. 
The Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported that "the 'Association to Prosecute Kensaku Morita,' a group of citizens, filed criminal charges against Governor Morita. 
I don't understand the difference between a Communist Party candidate posing as an independent in the Setagaya Ward mayor's race and Kensaku Morita, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, being in the wrong. 
However, I was curious to learn that the Sankei Shimbun reported that this "citizens' group" was "made up of Chiba prefectural assembly members of the Social Democratic Party. 
In other words, it is a politically colored organization.
This political coloring explains the motive for the accusation, but why did the Asahi Shimbun describe it as "an association of citizens" in the manner of an "independent" organization?
Is it because it would be inconvenient to write that they are affiliated with the Social Democratic Party?

Isn't it true that Asahi is a fake newspaper of the fake era, which does not report facts and changes its principles for convenience?

In this passage, every reader should think.
My editorial is perfectly proven by the brilliant thesis of the one and only journalist in the world.
What follows is a continuation of the previous section.
Emphasis in the text is mine.
The people of Chiba Prefecture would like to know the organization's true identity, slagging off the governor they all elected.
Why is Asahi hiding it? 
Governor Morita has received another accusation from this Social Democratic Party organization. 
Specifically, he was accused of receiving donations from Takao Yasuda, the president of Don Quijote. 
Ordinary people would know it comes from a pachinko parlor where 95% of the players are foreigners.
The average person needs to learn that "Don Quijote'' is run by Korean residents in Japan.   
Come to think of it, in the past, three people died in an arson attack at this company, and the company was not taking action in response to the fire department's recommendation for improvement.
Something odd about the company existed, but Asahi did not report that it was a Korean resident in Japan company at the time. 
Tsunoda Giichi, a former member of the Social Democratic Party, was paid by a Chongryon-affiliated company.
When it was discovered, he resigned as vice chairman of the upper house of the Diet. 
Whether a company is a Korean resident in Japan company or not is essential information that could affect a politician's political life. 
One day, an organization affiliated with the Social Democratic Party, which is close to a Korean resident in Japan, revealed that the company was, in fact, zainichi.
It is unclear why Asahi would take this and write "zainichi company Don Quixote" as if it were a well-known fact.
For example, while all the newspapers reported the zainichi pastor who assaulted female believers in Kyoto under his Korean name, Asahi went out of its way to report the incident under a Japanese name that no one knew. 
This newspaper is still in denial about Japan's rule over Korea.
In a recent commentary, the paper featured a voice saying, "It is the greatest humiliation to the Korean people that the Korean name was taken up in the name change process. 
The newspaper, however, is not willing to let Koreans take Japanese names on the front page while hiding the fact that Koreans changed their names because of their admiration for Japan and calling it an atrocity of Japan.
Isn't that precisely what "humiliation" is all about? 
In a recent column, Hirofumi Wakamiya discussed the meat hope of fake meat and Ichiro Ozawa about the "Age of Fake Meat." 
It is a good metaphor for an idiotic former editorial writer, but isn't the Asahi, which does not report the facts and changes its principles for convenience, a fake newspaper in the age of fake news?
