A moron? They put him in fake glasses and a vest...he’s got to be smart.

[Libloather]

...the North Korean government appears to have brought in skiers...

My money is on Holt hiring them.

” If it takes NUKES —SO BE IT!”

— Are you out of your mind?

I hope the moderators pay attention to his posts. He is relatively recent and posts like this smell of a plant.

On the 5 today, it was mentioned that he kind of, had to, say such things in order to preserve good health to he and his fellow travelers.

He could always work for CNN.

OK...I found one of the videos...It is 20 minutes...Worth watching when you have time...

It’s not just Holt, there had to be producers and other advance people.

He doesn’t get it. Walter Duranty got a prize for this kind of reporting!

[pioneerstakethearrows]

Did Holt miss the lesson on Potemkin Villages?

He’s a “useful idiot.”

[noiseman]

”Even more interesting that although there were long lines no skiers could be seen coming down the long twin slopes.”

I noticed the same thing, and it’s a dead giveaway. Obviously, very few if any of those stand-ins even know how to ski, so they couldn’t be allowed to actually ascend the mountain.

[Col Frank Slade]

Slopes empty because none of the NORK actors can actually ski.

They never have nor will they ever.

[Rastus]

the North Korean government appears to have brought in skiers — wearing identical outfits — and staged the scene, something Holt did not appear to realize

Yeah. Right.

I often tell people that the memory is the second thing to go, and I forget what goes first. It gets many knowing glances in response.

[SharpRightTurn]

I don’t think anyone has ever accused Lester of being the brightest kid in the class.

[Secret Agent Man]

Socialists never believe other socialists would ever deceive them.

Lester Holt: Wow! A winter wonderland, Wally.
Walter Duranty: Righto! Just like that winter wonderland in the old Ukraine 85 years ago.
Lester:And everyone's so friendly - like they were expecting us or something.
Walter:Funny how these countries with the baddest reputations turn out to be the friendliest.
Lester:I can't wait to write this up for the folks back home: "Potemkin Ski Resort would be the envy of Breckinridge!"
Walter:Good lead in, Les. Back then, mine was: "So much food over here people are eating their heads off!"

[Hot Tabasco]

If the silly putz and NBC really wanted to legitimize their propaganda, the least they could have done was to make sure there were skiers on the slopes in the background.........LOL!

[Hot Tabasco]

As a side note, in the video in the lower left hand corner, a “skier” fell down and couldn’t get up.........LOL!
