Then you tell me why radiation data for three prefectures isn't posted anymore.
TBS Newsbird has been giving periodical radation readings on television.

Honeslty, this journalism storm is a mess. With pressure to earn ad dollars and eyeballs, costs are cut, beureaus are cut and likely less time and incentive to cross and fact check at each independent news outlet.
