NBC's Lester Holt did his newscast from North Korea and while NBC looked at it as a historic event, others looked at it as a staged dog and pony show that Holt should have skipped. 

Holt and his crew were invited guests of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Holt had far from unlimited access while in the communist country. The crew was shuffled around to exactly where the North Korean government wanted them to go and see. 

Some thought that Holt played straight into dictator Kim Jong-un's hand.
