I don’t think noting that Kim Jong-Un’s sister beats Pence on TV charisma counts as supporting North Korea over the US. It’s merely observing skill at optics.

That is framing it oddly- Pence has bad optics precisely because many of the people whose job it is to write about his optics are predisposed to hate him. And it is strange that the bias isn’t stronger against a leading figure in the cruelest regime in the world.

If it wasn’t only Vice whose headlines focused on things like what happened to cheerleaders who misbehaved at home the optics would have been different. Interest levels were bound to be higher for Kim Yo-jung. Positive portrayal was thanks to chosen narratives.
