Deeply Concerned 

An expression used in PR, especially political, when the person or organization is expected to care about a situation and comment on it, but:

1) They don't actually give a shit, because the situation in question isn't particularly relevant to them, but it is politically imprudent to say that outright.

2) They definitely will not be doing anything about it.

Has become a generic response to any negative situation the person/organization is asked about but cannot or would not actually be concerned at all about.

President: We are deeply concerned for the well being of those brave individuals.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
