The authenticity of a press report on a factual assertion is recognized as having been consistent with objective facts in light of the overall purport of the content thereof, and even if there is a little difference from the truth or somewhat exaggerated expression in the detail, a specific part in the process of making it easier to easily understand complicated factual relations.
