Well, for example, the time they claimed to have had a long interview with Kim-Jong Un, and teased it as part of their documentary on north korea and their show at the time(or was it a doco? Can’t recall), as a publicity stunt. Of course, the time for publication came, and…nada. Nothing. Goose egg. The entire thing was a lie. They never even saw the guy in person, let alone interviewed him.
Or, as part of the same series, where they pulled a stunt, where they surreptitiously filmed themselves paying a bribe to North Korean officials, to avoid being arrested and vanishing, never to return…Except, it was all bullshit. They were just paying their regular tour fee, that pretty much all NK tourists pay, and they were in one of the few areas where filming is allowed.
Edit - If you want to read a whole hell of a lot more, there’s an excellent Medium series by Documentary filmmaker Daniel Voshart, called NotVice.
