This is proof that the Japanese press lies to you outright, just like our American press does.

Aw, come on! I read some Japanese High School textbooks, and these people are too educated for media spin. I mean:

The Rape of Nanking never happened

The US dropped the Atomic Bomb with no provocation whatsoever

Australian, British, and New Zealand prisoners during WW II were never brutally tortured to death

See.

Irrelevant, perhaps. The points you bring up are the Japanese Government position. However, opposed to them, is often an anti-government, liberal press. It is the Kyodo press today which wrote this article, not the Goverment of Japan. You have apples and oranges all over the place there, my friend! ;-)
