Shameful.
At least we don’t have to pay a license fee to support TBS.
NHK is even more shameful.

TBS has acknowledged its active involvement in withholding information crucial to legal proceedings and public safety.
Isn't it a crime? Will be any legal consequences?

Do you know the context of this article?
Do you have any idea what that special investigation was all about?
I can't spoon feed you. You must learn to document yourself.
Go. Go, and read some news about the subject.

TBS kept quiet about Johnny's off-field issues, including allegations of sexual assault.
Go and tell the victims that you see no legal -and no public safety- issues with that.
