National Public Radio characterized former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo as a “divisive arch-conservative” a mere hours after a gunman assassinated him .
Abe served as Japan’s prime minister from 2006 to 2007 and, more recently, from 2012 to 2020.
NPR posted the following tweet after Abe’s assassination:
"Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a divisive arch-conservative and one of his nation’s most powerful and influential figures, has died after being shot during a campaign speech Friday in western Japan."
NPR has since deleted its tweet after social media users were outraged.
“NPR referring to Japan’s most popular PM, who won his elections by large margins, as “divisive” indicates the inability of media outlets to genuinely report any longer,” Erielle Davison tweeted. "Everything is a mural for their projection."
“Once you accept the simple reason why NPR and the CCP both treat Shinzo Abe the same you will understand what is truly going on in our world,” Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec added.
Other users pointed out the difference between NPR’s coverage of Abe’s death and Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro.
Former Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) tweeted:
When Fidel Castro died, NPR called him a “prominent international figure.” On Yasser Arafat’s death “a freedom fighter.” On Prime Minister’s Abu’s assassination, NPR’s statement: “a divisive arch-conservative and an ultranationalist.” Brought to you by your US tax dollars.
Other users called for the taxpayer-funded news outlet to be defunded after its remarks about Abe.
“We taxpayers fund this propaganda,” Steve Cortes tweeted.
After the social media outrage, NPR deleted its initial tweet and replaced it with one characterizing the former prime minister as an “ultranationalist.”
“Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese prime minister and ultranationalist, was killed at a campaign rally on Friday,” NPR’s updated tweet read.

“NPR deleted its first tweet calling Shinzo Abe a ‘divisive arch conservative’ and then posted this tweet calling him an ‘ultranationalist,’” David Shafer noted. “As if he were Tojo or Itagaki and not the four time elected leader of a modern democracy. May he rest in peace.”

Because of Assistant Democrats.
The Prozac ladies of NPR devote every breath to creating division.
(On Yasser Arafat’s death “a freedom fighter”)
An Islamic career terrorist with hundreds if not thousands of deaths on his hands; many by his operatives.
And many maimed for life
It’s a sign that we live in bizarre times.
Isaiah 5:20 times.
NPR…..ever classy
Fox11 LA did the same thing on Facebook. I don’t know who did it first, but more than a few outlets picked it up.
Just ingratiating themselves to their masters in China.
Should have been definded back in the 80s when Republicans first started promising (lying) to.
To be called an ultranationalist or devisive by these globalist who were crapped out by the Comintern ... that’s actually an unintended honor.
If you are known by your enemies then these people are among the best enemies to be known by.
defunded ... stupid typo
defunded ... stupid typo
No bias with NPR?
Devisive, deplorable, arch conservative. That sounds and translates into all kinds of evil words worl wide.
THATS what I want to be. An Arch Conservative!
