Embarrassment for NBC News after Lester Holt apparently falls for North Korean propaganda
2018-01-25
[FOX] NBC News is reeling after "Nightly News" anchor Lester Holt appears to have been badly fooled by North Korean propagandists -- giving a cheery report from a ski resort in the Hermit Kingdom that looked to be bustling when it was widely known to actually be a ghost town.
That's Lester trying his hand at the pole.
Holt -- who returned early from North Korea after scathing reviews -- reported for "Nightly News" from the Masikryong ski resort on Monday, a facility that is the brainchild of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and is typically empty. The resort, built to create the appearance of a prosperous nation, was largely deserted during peak 2017 ski season, according to multiple reports.

But for Holt’s appearance, the North Korean government appears to have brought in skiers ‐ wearing identical outfits ‐ and staged the scene, something Holt did not appear to realize.

#4  In a world always warming, mañana,
Pyongyang will resemble Havana
With colorful buildings
And ladylike geldings,
But Kim still the top Red banana.

#2  NBC’s Lester Holt: Pyongyang has ‘colorful buildings’ and the brainwashed people are hard workers

That's what they are like.

#1  Holt's never heard of the Potemkin Village? What a naïve lefty asswipe (but I repeat myself).
