...who are pandering to a crowd, and based upon essentially no information at all

What I remember is a well-argued article pointing to many parts of the hack that would seem to disqualify North Korea - for example the use of a (South) Korean language locale which North Koreans would in fact not normally be able or likely to use, broken English with little relation to how North Koreans would speak, etc.
Now, North Korean could be making a careful effort to impersonate Western hackers making a crude effort to impersonate North Koreans. But that's kind of reaching and there's a bit more than no evidence.

That article was a classic case of "assume the end result, and then make everything you've heard...including indirect, second-hand rumors, fit the mold you've set". You probably saw that "analysis" on here, and it was quite soundly destroyed as being largely ignorant.
Further the whole "that bad English doesn't fit how I think bad English should look" is...well it's preposterous. The article also uses a ridiculous email exchange which could be anyone as proof -- again, fitting the mold.
There is literally nothing in that, beyond some person's subjective take on how a person might mangle English (this is one of those classic claims that assumes some grand conspiracy...but that the conspirators were too dumb to get the basic stuff right), that is based upon legitimate analysis.
