NBC's Lester Holt is under fire for his "cushy" coverage of North Korea, despite the regimes long record of cruelty, murder and oppression.
The star journalist traveled to the Hermit Kingdom weeks before the Peacock Network will cover the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, and viewers slammed his coverage as being sycophantic, decidedly uncritical and feeding "propaganda."
Holt was criticized in particular for saying he was treated with respect by the regime, where he reported from a ski slope as seemingly happy North Koreans were enjoying a wintry day. Viewers said the ski scene appeared to have been staged by the North Koreans, who are notorious for keeping visiting journalists on closely guarded, highly choreographed tours and not allowing interviews with high ranking government officials.

America needs less Holt.
I don’t blame him. Look what happened to the last American who was arrested in North Korea.
;-)
Stay there Lester. Forever.
A general told me that they have really enjoyed the cable installation the Clintons got for them
and asked why we didn't include FOX.
Re your tagline from Churchill: If you haven’t seen “Darkest Hour” yet I would recommend it.
I have not seen it yet because I was concerned it would be a leftist-hollywood hit piece. Is it a fair depiction of the man?
Technically we are still at war with North Korea. Would Holt’s reporting be considered giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
And those same liberal media will do countless stories on the homeless now that a republican is in office and the same that liked to call the Tea Party members “teabaggers” and how racist they were. But a brutal dictator staving his people? Eh, how lovely the country is and the people are so happy. Proof that there aren’t murderous dictators liberals don’t love.
I had the same fear but there wasn’t much hit-piece type stuff in my opinion.
My dementia ridden MIL watches CBS. This guy Holt is always cotton candy. Thats what those NBC viewers are use too. NBC viewers are all retarded zombies anyway.
At least my MIL forgets to vote.
The word cotton is going to trigger a lot of hate.
The snow in the background is pretty white too.
I meant MIL watches NBC.
NBC viewers haven’t seen such glowing coverage of a State leader since early January of 2017.
Are you sure she is being “voted” five-six-seven times each election by the SEIU/NAACP/SPLU “social advisors” going around each senior citizens home “assisting” every one of those senior citizens during every election season with write-in ballots by hand-carrying them to the polling place(s) early and often?
They have a history of throwing away republican ballots, and sending in dozens of "dead ballots" all marked for democratic positions.
The census takers hired from those groups do the same. For empty, burned-out buildings.
NBC is frikkin’ retarded.
