OK, so it is not a scandal just yet, but I do not understand why not.
May I explain?
Sony Enterntainment Company, a corporation based in Japan, with an entertainment division based in Los Angeles, produces a comedy. The comedy is focused on the asassination of the leader of North Korea, Axis of Evil official member.
Sony's weakly secured intranet is hacked by unknown hackers, a common occurrence in American corporations, but it is not credit card and consumer information stolen, which is probably a greater national security threat by far, it is the entire personal hard drives of everyone at Sony. All the emails, all the stored digital files, pictures, digitized films, contracts, all external communications with third parties.....like, say, Regal Entertainment Group, Sony's primary theatre chain distributor.
I would assume there are regular, and confidential, contacts between the two companies daily, including personal information and communications.
See where I am going with this?
So it turns out, contrary to all mass media reporting, that REG pulled the movie......

Regal Entertainment Group
Movie theater company
Regal Entertainment Group, abbreviated REG, is an American movie theater chain headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. Wikipedia
Headquarters: Knoxville, TN, United States of America
Stock price: RGC (NYSE) US$20.61 +0.01 (+0.05%)

CEO: Amy E Miles
Founder: Philip Anschutz
"Anschutz is an active Republican donor," Annys Shin wrote November 21, 2004, in the Washington Post. "Since 1996, he, his companies and members of his family have given more than $500,000 in campaign contributions to GOP candidates and committees."
"In 1987, Anschutz's family foundation gave Focus on the Family founder James Dobson an award for his 'contributions to the American Family."
"More than a year after billionaire Phil Anschutz called off the sale of sports and real-estate conglomerate AEG, another corner of his empire — the movie theater chain Regal Entertainment Group RGC +0.05% — is hitting the block.
Regal surprised Wall Street Monday night when it said it hired Morgan Stanley MS +1.08% to explore strategic alternatives, including a sale. Shares of the movie theater company closed up 4% Tuesday.
More importantly it raised the question: Why does Mr. Anschutz, whose investment fund owns roughly 47% of the shares and holds a majority of its voting control, want out of the business that he’s owned since 2001 now?"

What do the hackers have on Sony, the rest of what they have, and on REG, were they also hacked?
Why did Phillip Anschutz pull the plug, and not Sony? What do the hackers have on Anschutz?
As to the FBI fingering NK, I have seen no gloating or demands by the NK government who are kind of famous for exactly that....they are offering to help track the hackers that may well be in IN their country....false flag op? The reaction of the NK government does not pass the smell test either.
Why would they demand a transparent investigation into their own behaviour? America does not do due process, right? No evidence really needed, trust in the FBI and CIA is absolute and unquestioning, especially when the mass media is doing the job, and they have already rendered the verdict.
Get on board the Consenus Train or be prepared to be railroaded. Remember Fearbola?
FBI, where's the beef? Show me the beef. Show me your evidence. Show North Korea if you have to.
Philip Anschutz, look there.
