何だこいつら、こんな記事書いてんぞ, Morley Robertson For a full week, the mega-bulletin "2 channel" was in a frenzy, what users call a "festival" (matsuri). Tens of thousands of postings were entered. Most postings were filled with epithets or base humor, but there were occasional gems of background information that could not be obtained through mainstream media. Certain obscure blogs and PDF documents discussing esoteric techniques of fraudulent accounting received "prime time" coverage within the discussion threads. Most celebrities would not welcome attention from this mega-bulletin because of its slanderous nature. But Livedoor had entered a kind of symbiosis with the 2 channel users. Many on 2 channel would criticize Masayoshi Song of Softbank, Inc. for being a "non Japanese" (zainichi Korean), while a surprising number of "2 channel" posts about Livedoor seemed sympathetic. In fact, Livedoor's portal leased the bulletin architecture from "2 channel," so that bulletins within Livedoor resembled "2 channel" threads. Perhaps Horie-mon was a "2 channel" icon. Even as he fell, he was taking the Tokyo Stock Exchange with him. The sheer volume of 2 channel postings about Livedoor was noticed by mainstream news media. When television or newspapers covered 2 channel, this would speed up the rate of postings. The rapidly growing threads reminded one of Livedoor's growth model, where stock prices and media coverage fanned each other. This festival reached its climax at the moment of Horie's arrest. "2 channelers" seemed overjoyed that their hero had gone up in flames. Innumerous "ASCII art" postings expressed a sense of elation, as if witnessing a historic moment. http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?no=271263&rel_no=1

Reporters Without Border: JAPAN Harassment and obstruction: The British daily The Guardian revealed on 24 January 2003 that sports journalist Fred Varcoe was unfairly dismissed by the daily Japan Times on 4 July 2002 as a result of pressure from the South Korean authorities.
The South Korean website OhmyNews launched a campaign against Varcoe after he alluded to Seoul prostitutes in a story a few weeks before the start of the football world cup.
Varcoe’s wife, a South Korean national, received death threats by e-mail. South Korean diplomats went to the headquarters of the Japan Times twice to demand sanctions against Varcoe. Among the reasons the newspaper gave for firing him was "insulting the honour of Korean women." Varcoe filed a complaint against the newspaper’s management, which failed to stand up to the South Korean government’s pressure.
