Why is the United States media not reporting the North Korea missle situation?

As some of you may have heard, North Korea has recently pledged to weaponize all of its plutonium and has planned to perform a long range missle test on July 4th of this year. The government has moved two missle defence systems to parts of Hawaii as a cautionary measure. While there have been articles written, they are far from the front page. I am the last one to urge fear-mongering and panic, but I wonder why the media is not making a bigger deal about the situation. What do you think about the recent lack of reporting and the issue with North Korea itself?

I have seen quite a bit of coverage on Fox and Drudge. If there hasn't been much on the other major media news sources, then it may be that Obama doesn't know about it yet. I think he watches ABC.
Now, I don't rule it out, because it's clear that North Korean president Kim Jong-il is a psycho, but if he's got even a tiny shred of rationality left, it would seem to me to be a truly bad idea to launch a missile strike on Hawaii. What would happen? He strikes Hawaii on July 4th and on July 5th there's a hole in the ground where North Korea used to be. At least, that's the way we used to handle things.
