BBC: "NHK boss sparks 'comfort women' row"

The new chairman of NHK--a public broadcaster equivalent to BBC, Mr. Katsuto Momii said, "such [comfort] women could be found in any nation that was at war, including France and Germany." Mr. Momii is a FOA (Freaks of Abe), and no wonder he made a stupid statement to cover Mr. Abe.

BBC reports that: 

The head of Japanese broadcaster NHK causes controversy by playing down the use of sex slaves - so-called "comfort women" - in World War Two.

NHK operates under Japan's Broadcast Law, which ensure that NHK's operations are supported by fees receive from every household and business operator with a TV set.
NHK's official statement says that:
"The receiving fee system ensures NHK’s financial independence, which guarantees NHK’s editorial independence and impartiality.
The duty of a public broadcaster is to deliver impartial, high-quality programs. Programs should never be influenced by the government or a private organization. A wide range of programs and a balanced programming should be also provided, with no influence imposed by ratings or the interests of a third party."
Mr. Momii's statement has disgraced NHK's independence and impartiality as a public broadcaster. That statement is unwarranted, intolerable and inexcusable. He ought to make a sincere public apology and resign immediately. Enough of "FOA" nonsense.
