So the point I was making was that… think about a newspaper, like Nikkei. On A1, on the front page, you have the news. That is to say, whatever your political opinion is, you probably agree that these things happened, that this is the front page. And once you flip to the second page, okay, you see one interpretation, you see another interpretation in a balanced way to fairly represent the divide in a society. This is the Hutchins Commission principle. And before the Hutchins Commission principle, many so-called newspapers took one side of opinion and presented it as news and kind of had an illusion, tried to mislead people into believing that one fringe opinion is what’s happening.
