German journalist revealed spin & bias in the Western media: The shocking element of the book will be...when people will read it who don’t know anything about media in the west in general and people who still believe that we have something like a free and independent media. I think, for those people, it will be a real shocking experience because it contradicts they might believe in. I myself encounter strange, biased news articles about my country, Japan, for example, in the West. I think we have to be critical upon reading newspapers and to be open to listen to what local people say, even if what the local people say completely contradicts the stories found in the media.
