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.

I’m sure they didn’t have to work too hard to fool him or his fellow “fence posts”!

“There is no starvation in Ukraine ... hey! Where’s my Pulitzer Prize.?”
Oh, his family probably STILL has it, because it was never recalled.
Will take a look when I have time.
Watching Hannity now.
I am surprised they didnt get footage of him in a nork aa gun turret.
I’ve watched two or three of these reports from NK.
I was wondering when Lester would step in it.
He did...
NOT a ski area, with any skiers.
Did not see ANY skiers actually skiing on any of the slopes, and only three on the bunny hill, one of which had already fallen down.
Maybe I am just not focusing, but I did not see ANY actual skiers..
None. Just two who actually knew how to stand up, skiing front of the television. And one who didn’t, apparently.
The media in America is completely, totally, 100% leftist supporters.
All of them.
Or I am just blind, and cannot see the skiers. But I don’t see them.
Holt can’t be that stupid but who knows? Agenda drives all to them. They find a bigger enemy in President Trump and traditional America as opposed to the barbarians of North Korea and other sh*tholes. The bigger special ed libtards are those who generate social media. They are a product of government education from the Clinton era up to now. They fuel the mass sheep who slurp it up.
North Korean propagandists fool American propagandist.
#FakeNews at 11:00.
Cut the guy some slack. He’s an affirmative action hire expected to function beyond his abilities.
That’s right. You have to be in your right mind to consider the rational bounds of what is possible, which certainly includes the deception described. It is not only possible, it makes sense!
You understate the case.
Let me ask you this. Kim Jung UN has openly threatened a nuclear attack on the United States of America including an overt threat at an EMP.What would you do? duck?
They weren’t called useful idiots for no reason.
I'm in that terrain now, everything seems a little strange and uncertain ... We now return you to your regularly scheduled program!
We have a paid military that is painfully weak but lets get them out of the garage and drive them around to crush these communist bastards before the kill millions of Americans laughing at you. Nuke them NOW!! Remove cowards here!
This is obvious propaganda, everybody knows grobal warming would have melted any ski srope
Lester is not the sharpist rock in the box.
Holt’s obviously been brainwashed in to a Manchurian reporter.
Under no circumstances should he be allowed access to Pres. Trump.
Pefore his promotion to lead anchor, he was known as iron-ass Holt.
He could remain on scene or in studio for hours and keep on talking...
