CBS ‘Mornings’ Remembers ‘Polarizing Figure’ Shinzo Abe After Death — ‘He Was a Right-Wing Nationalist’

CBS “Mornings” on Friday remembered former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe following his assassination while on the campaign trail at the age of 67.

According to CBS reporter Elizabeth Palmer, Abe was a “polarizing figure,” “a right-wing nationalist and conservative.” She advised that although Abe’s “political opinions were controversial,” the country was “united in shock and sympathy at the news of his death.”

“It would be hard to overstate just how much of a shock this is in the normally nonviolent Japan,” Palmer stated. People are really feeling traumatized.”

“Abe was Japan’s longest-serving prime minister when he left office in 2020 due to ill health,” she continued in a voice-over recording. “A polarizing figure, he was a right-wing nationalist and conservative and a fierce supporter of Japan’s military. He fought to amend the country’s pacifist constitution in the face of the rising threat from China. While in office, Abe met former President Donald Trump several times to reaffirm Japan’s military and trade alliances with the United States. His political opinions were controversial, but the country is united in shock and sympathy at the news of his death.”

Palmer advised that a gun attack in a country with such strong gun law has the people “feeling shaken.”

I wonder if they will ever call a liberal who dies “polarizing”. Won’t hold my breath.

The media carries the water for our left-wing government. They always have. My question is, when are people going to get sick of them and rise up against them?

Imagine how delighted and smiling the Chinese Communists are to see that on CBS?

What acting part was Gayle King playing that day?

When I saw the first day of their “new” show, her back was to the camera.

I was thinking, oh no, they didn’t really......and I couldn’t even watch infrequently.

But the sheep 🐑🐑🐑 must love it.

That was about the same time I saw Tim Russert go dumb and Brian Williams go the same way.

By then, we were awash in North Korean-style propaganda.

The Ministry of Propaganda always sticks to the narrative.

Gee, CBS… You say “right wing nationalist” like it was a bad thing… I guess the only people CBS likes are communist assholes like themselves.

We wanted the Japanese nationalists and ruling elites out of power after WWII, so when they came back they had to do so as “Liberal Democrats”. Their main opponents were the Communists, the Socialists and a “Good Government” Party.
