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.

That comment requires a very clever and insightful mind. Also it’s some funny chit.

There’s no need, strategically or tactically, to “Nuke them now.” I think it would take only a very limited tactical strike to incapacitate their nuclear capability, such as it may be ... and let them try to stop it.

It’s OK.. Folks don’t tune in that network for much of anything besides propaganda for leftist causes anyway.

I thought he was good on Investigation Discovery. Did not have to expose his demo-commie opinions there.

It’s not just Dolt, it’s NorDUH O’Donnell and most news readers. It’s WHY they are so biased, because liberalism is a mental illness and typically afflicts those too dumb to understand truth and reality.

Has anyone proven that those mobile missile canisters [#25] contain anything other than dead political prisoners?
