Embarrassment for NBC News after Lester Holt apparently falls for North Korean propaganda
Fox News ^ | 1/24/18 | Brian Flood

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.

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.

Lester Holt is a moron - which means he is slightly more intelligent than the idiots who make up the rest of the NBC News family.

Lester is dumb as a rock.
A perfect example of the Bell Curve.

I know Franco and Seth are big-time libs, but you gotta watch “The Interview.” Absolutely hilarious and nailed NK to a T.

I saw the report from the ski slope. Interesting that none of the Nork robots looked at the camera. Even more interesting that although there were long lines no skiers could be seen coming down the long twin slopes. I’ll bet it’s the little fat boy’s personal getaway.
Lester had to be be careful in what he said lest he meet the same date as Otto Wambier.
