Governor Motohiko Saito of Hyogo Prefecture, who has been internally accused of power harassment and &#8220;begging&#8221; allegations, appeared on several TV programs, mainly in the Kansai region.
On the evening of September 20, &#8220;Yonchan TV&#8221; (MBS) aired a recorded interview with him. That evening, he appeared live on &#8220;Kansai Netsu Gaze&#8221; (NHK).
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
However, no matter how many commercial TV programs and live appearances he appeared on, Governor Saito&#8217;s arguments were no different from his daily press conferences at the prefectural office.
<h2>Is this man a parrot?&#8221;</h2>
A no-confidence motion against Saito was passed unanimously by the prefectural assembly on August 19, forcing Saito to decide whether to resign, lose his job, or dissolve the assembly, but he said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll think it over.
 &#8220;I&#8217;ll think it over.
 &#8220;I will do my best during my four years in office.
Saito&#8217;s only response was an expressionless, nonchalant, &#8220;I will think it over.
Yohei Oyoshi, an MBS announcer, conducted the interview on &#8220;Yonchan TV,&#8221; but after the broadcast, studio commentator Kazuaki Takeda, a former TBS reporter, expressed his dismay.
 &#8220;I dare say something rude, but is this person a parrot?&#8221; . In other words, he kept repeating the same thing over and over again. The most important questions I want to ask him are, &#8220;What is he going to do about it? He does not answer anything about that. He has no political sense. &#8230;&#8230;
He also said that he had no political sense and that he would not answer any questions about it.

On the other hand, however, some people on social networking sites were defending Saito, saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t let the media bully him!&#8221; It is a fact, however, that there is a strong voice of &#8220;defense&#8221; on social networking sites, saying, &#8220;The media should stop picking on Governor Saito!
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="Behind the scenes, he has been appearing on TV programs one after another. ......"></div>
And about &#8220;Yonchan TV&#8221;.
 &#8220;It&#8217;s too rude.
 It&#8217;s a media lynching.
 &#8220;Daikichi interrupted me!
Some people voiced their opposition to the program, saying that it was &#8220;too rude,&#8221; &#8220;media lynching,&#8221; and &#8220;Daikichi interrupted the conversation!
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 In fact, supporters came to the vicinity of the prefectural office and said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t give up! &#8220;In fact, there are supporters who come to the area around the prefectural office and send love calls saying, &#8216;Don&#8217;t give up! To maintain fairness, we broadcast such scenes, and the hashtag &#8220;#Ganbare Saito Gov.
 However, when we interviewed people on the street, more than 90% of them said, &#8220;Quit right now. The prefectural office has been inundated with more than 5,600 calls with complaints, and since the department in charge cannot keep up with the calls alone, they have asked for help from other departments to answer the calls. It is often said that the prefectural government will not progress unless Governor Saito quits, but practically speaking, the employees are unable to do their jobs and are handling the complaints.
<h2>That power-harassing legislator now appears on TV with a &#8220;Buddha&#8217;s face.</h2>
As soon as the no-confidence motion was passed, Governor Saito began appearing on TV programs. Some have begun to speculate that he will become a commentator on a wide-ranging TV show after he loses his post. Some have begun to speculate, &#8220;If he loses his job, will he become a commentator for a wide-ranging TV show? Indeed.
 &#8220;You&#8217;re so crazy! That&#8217;s not true!
Former House of Representatives member Mayuko Toyoda, who became a topic of controversy for her power harassment of the &#8220;I&#8217;m not a politician!
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
Will some programs consider Governor Saito, who has &#8220;outstanding name recognition,&#8221; as a &#8220;commentator&#8221;? We asked a person involved in a wide-ranging TV show about the possibility.
 Saito is different from the scandalous legislators we have seen in the past. There have been two suicides. One of them is said to have disregarded whistleblower protection and ordered the former deputy governor to find the culprit. A recording of this intimidating exchange was also made public at the Article 100 Committee. Furthermore, the former prefectural governor died after leaving his last will and testament, &#8220;I will protest to the death&#8221; for attempting to expose extremely private information on his computer.
 Both of these cases could have been avoided if Governor Saito had handled them appropriately. If a program were to make Governor Saito a commentator, I am sure that a considerable number of complaints would pour in, and sponsors would drop out. We must not confuse an interview to ascertain the truth with paying a fee to have a commentator come on the show.&#8221;
However, there are programs that use only the wackiest of people as commentators in order to avoid inflammation, no matter how much the public may question their insight. However, Governor Saito&#8217;s road to becoming a &#8220;successful&#8221; commentator seems to be quite a hurdle.
