At 8 minutes 50 seconds


Asahi News "According to some sources there is the possibility of a massive cartel, what is your opinion on that President Tanigaki?"
Pres. Tanigaki "A grand cartel? According to certain sources, you say, what news sources are reporting rubbish like that? I don't know anything about it!"

Asahi "It was in the weekly news ... the Asahi Weekly News"

Tanigaki "Oh... so you're the ones reporting on that rubbish" (strained smile)

Conference erupts into laughter
Pres. Tanigaki "Well, in regards to your well respected news agency, I shall refrain from any inflammatory comments"  

Let's see the Japanese response!

自信がないなら報道するなよ、一部報道とかで誤魔化すなよ 

If you don't have confidence in the information, don't report on it!
and don't try to play it off by saying "according to some sources"

自分たちで書いておいて「一部報道によると」かよ 

You're the ones writing it and yet you still say "according to certain sources"!?

素直に大連立の可能性は?って聞けばいいのに 

Why didn't she just ask honestly "Is there a chance you're part of a massive cartel?"

「アサヒる」という言葉の意味を、
改めて噛み締める 

This requires some reflection over the meaning of the slang "to asahi something"

  3. This reminds me a lot of the former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight. He would always tear into reporters during press conferences, just like this guy did.

  4. Typical political dodge. Completely avoid the question by questioning the ethos of the reporter.
