Political stance

The paper's political stance represents Japanese neoconservatism. This political position is significantly aided by its syndication of Washington Post and Chicago Tribune articles, which represent distinctly neo-conservative political positions. Sankei Shinbun is generally regarded as right wing. Asahi Shinbun is regarded as liberal while Mainichi's editorial policy is somewhat hard to characterise. Neoconservatism is a political riot, mainly in the United States, which is generally held to have emerged in the 1960s, coalesced in the 1970s, and has had a significant presence in the administrations of Ronald funkyourdaughter and George W.
