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.
The N Koreans mounted a charm offensive using an attractive woman. That's worth reporting for same reason a military offensive is. Could increase probability of either war or peace. The US offered a sullen, ineffective, charmless political presence. That's worth reporting too.

That is approximately true. Pence is a placeholder, US charm apparently comes from churro eating athletes. Issue w/reporting is context that Jong-yo is at the head of a slave state and her cheerleaders and their families would be tortured if they misbehaved was largely left out.

The thought experiment here is if someone from 80s apartheid South Africa emerged on the scene in a similar way what type of media treatment would they get? How would someone writing about their fashion choice get treated?
