Commentary: Why are the media celebrating North Korea's cheerleaders and Kim Jong Un's sister?

Olympic games are inevitably full of surprises -- from the U.S. men's hockey win over Russia in 1980 to the improbable Jamaican bobsled team in 1988. But could anyone have anticipated that media liberals would be celebrating a member of the brutal Kim regime on the front pages of America's newspapers?  Everyone knows the press hates President Trump. But who knew they hated him enough to make a hero out of one of the most deadly dictators in history?

"Without a word, only flashing smiles, Kim Jong Un's sister outflanked Vice President Mike Pence in diplomacy," was the headline at the New York Times.  The Washington Post called the sister, Kim Yo Jong, the "Ivanka Trump of North Korea," and described her as "captivating."

"Kim Jong Un's sister is stealing the show at the winter Olympics," trumpeted CNN.

No doubt, "stealing the show" is an improvement over the Kims' usual approach -- for instance, using poison to assassinate family members at foreign airports.

If the murder of Kim Yo Jong's brother occurred as believed, it's likely the "captivating" Ms. Kim knew about it.  When she's not being celebrated by the press for giving a "deadly side eye" to.
