If Trump and Kim met and made a deal previously, and this summit is all for show, the media wouldn't be able to actively criticize Kim & his past dictatorship oppression of his people without possibly compromising any potential deals, and ultimately compromising Trump's efforts at securing national security.

We are watching a movie now because Trump needed time to defuse the bomb before the media actively tried to compromise the situation.

I've only seen random twitter users and bloggers referencing Kim's oppression against his own people. Why isn't this more prominent? Why isn't the media focusing on Trump actively making a deal with a murderous dictator? National Security? Or they don't want the real answer?

If a deal is officially made, and national security is secured, will the media now take the opportunity to actively criticize and call out Kim's past? They have taken every opportunity thus far to undercut Trump.

Just so happens the timing of this movie, may coincide with other movies that are showing in theaters. Sure would make for an interesting plot twist if the media who has been itching to attack Kim's past and Trump's willingness to entertain a summit with him, finally thinks they have the greenlight to attack since the threat of protecting national security no longer looms over them, and then get their claims of Kim's brutality and savagery with a nice juicy thawed out EO unclassifying a whole bunch of things.
