Embarrassment for NBC News after Lester Holt apparently falls for North Korean propaganda
[FOX] 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.
That's Lester trying his hand at the pole.
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.
