Just after 10:30 a.m. on February 17, a new H3 rocket was scheduled to launch from Tanegashima, but the launch was canceled just before. At a press conference held from 14:00, a reporter from Kyodo News responded to JAXA’s statement, “Although we were unable to launch due to an abnormality, we do not consider it a failure.” Throw away words.

The official Kyodo News tweet, which reported that the launch failed, was flooded with criticism and went up in flames.
Businessman Takafumi Horie, also known as Horiemon, quoted a video tweet clipping the scene from a press conference held by another user.
This Kyodo News reporter is really poopy. It’s full of people with low intelligence like this. What is the media?
He made a bitter tweet and called for a response.

After that, the criticism on SNS continued to expand.On the following day, on the 18th, Akihiro Nishino of the comedy duo King Kong quoted the same tweet quoted by Mr. Horie.

and tweeted.
In contrast,
“I was watching the live broadcast on time, but it was the first time I felt so disgusted. Nausea…”
“This is… Kyodo News reporter, I can only think that you’re smearing the name of the company… Oh my God…”
“It would be nice if the mass media took responsibility for the dissemination of information, and I hope that it will be an opportunity for that to happen.”
It seems that comments like this were sent.
