Is Asahishinbun a Newspaper Company?

The Asahishinbun has possibly denied to print a series of Mr. Ikegami's essay and Mr. Ikegami addmited the denying. He also has withdrawn to write essays for tha news paper. 

Mr. Ikegami wrote an article about Asahishinbun's withdrawing so called confort women articles which many people had doubted long before the paper company withdrew, but never apologize, them. 

I'm against the attitude of Asahishinbun. They are no longer a media company because they denied freedom of expression. They need to bear criticism when they made mistakes. That's the way medias are. Tokyo Sports, or Osaka Sports, has far more journalistic spirit.
