doesn't want to REPORT that Korea already had the ability to hit the US with a multi stage ICBM as proved with its launch of one in 1998.

"There is reason to be concerned about North Korea today," Gilman said. "The threat to US interests continues and is in fact spreading into less conventional areas. The DPRK has deployed three new types of missiles since 1993--the newest capable of striking our nation. This is a clear and present danger to our national security and allows North Korea to create a balance of terror in northeast Asia."

Of course the media's failure to REPORT this is not any indication of BIAS nor even an indication of their desire to MAKE rather than REPORT news any more than dehydrated water is a boon for desert travelers.
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is blaming President Bush for the fact that North Korea can now hit the U.S. with nuclear missiles - after a top intelligence official told her Thursday that Kim Jong Il's ICBMs can now reach the Northwestern U.S.
"They couldn't do that when George Bush became president, and now they can," Mrs. Clinton complained to the New York Times She called the nuke revelation - offered by Defense Intelligence Agency chief Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee - "The first confirmation, publicly, by the administration that the North Koreans have the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear device that can reach the United States."
The top Democrat pointed her finger at the Bush administration despite a 1999 congressional finding that North Korea first obtained the capacity to develop nuclear weapons under her husband's administration, which actually gave Kim Jong Il nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that he would not make weapons.
A report compiled at the time by the House North Korea Advisory Group warned: "If the [Clinton administration's] 1994 Agreed Framework is implemented and two are eventually built and operated in North Korea, the reactors could produce close to 500 kilograms of plutonium in spent reactor fuel each year; enough for nearly 100 bombs annually if North Korea decides to break its obligations and reprocess the material."
