There are many in the government who believes that it is PC to cover up for N. Korea. These are one-time die-hard pro-North anti-Americans, and their reflex dies hard. Their worst nightmare is to make America look good by taking on N. Korea. Pathetic, don't you think?
Pure evil. Those who, for their own power and gratification, sacrfice the lives and well-being of others, deserve death. It is the responsibility of those with power - whether in government, media, or education - to protect (in the case of the media, protect by telling the truth and serving the truth) and serve those who are influenced by them. To so the opposite is just pure evil.
