Fox News allows Leland Vittert to commit journalistic malfeasance in ambush interview with Trump trade adviser
heartlanddiaryusa.com ^ | 8/11/19 | Frank Miele

When President Trump called out Fox News weekend hosts Arthel Neville and Leland Vittert in March, I was blissfully ignorant of this malignant duo. Trump asked whether they had been trained at CNN. Probably not! Probably just about any journalism school in America could produce similarly left-wing biased reporters. Were @FoxNews weekend anchors, @ArthelNeville and @LelandVittert, trained by CNN prior to their ratings collapse? In any event, that’s where they should be working, along with their lowest rated anchor, Shepard Smith! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019

Now that I have watched them, I have to say the President was being rather kind to them. They are atrocious journalists, and if Fox News thinks they belong on the air, then it makes me question whether Fox News belongs on my TV at all.

THIS WEEKEND VITTERT tried to ambush President Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro, and exposed his own contempt for his own profession, for common decency, and certainly for President Trump. A report by Kristinn Taylor at Gateway Pundit has characterized it as a “hostile, physically aggressive interview” about China trade and tariff policies. The only words that can appropriately describe Vittert’s demeanor are sneering, smirking, scoffing and disgusting. Fortunately, a viewer recorded the exchange on his cellphone, so you can see it all.

The best part is that Navarro, like Stephen Miller, fights back against the ambush and thus EXPOSES VITTERT FOR THE BUFFOON HE IS.

I would not have been so polite. I strongly encourage you to watch the full video if you can stomach it!

Since the elder Murdoch turned Fox News over to his liberal sons, they have slowly converting it into Faux News. Probably by the end of 2020 it will be as relevant as CNN or MSNBC.

I also turned on Fox News at 11:50 just to watch the ball drop and was shocked they had no live coverage of Times Square.

How can an international news outfit not cover the biggest story of the moment and instead be showing a REPEAT (a bad repeat, at that) of childless Dana Perino and her boring Jasper the dog stories in her ventriloquist dummy-sounding voice at the table where the primary job of the bimbo in the far left seat is to show off her legs wearing s short skirt and spike heels?

Awful show, especially with Juan Williams and that Harf person.

One America News is doing the kind of TV journalism that gets it right. Their investigative reports are great, and the latest, on the Ukraine scandal, are available online.

Fox and the rest of the libtards ought to brush up on the facts by watching those reports.

Fox News is for dumbasses. They’re a shill for RINOs and Never Trump idiots. I shut that crap off YEARS ago.

“Navarro was treated horrible and rudely. For someone who doesn’t know what he is talking about Vitter shows his ignorance by constantly interrupting an expert. Navarro is a class act.’

Just who is "parading a bandwagon" and trying to "be seen as stylish"?

Speak up, bert.

The “blue” is my former voting precinct. When I created that handle once upon a time, I was THE ONLY registered Republican in my precinct. Hence I was surrounded by blue

I’ve since moved LOL!

Those riding the bandwagon know who they are but admission is detrimental to their self esteem

Fuller disclosure:

My wife and I watched a lot of FoxNews Thursday throught yesterday, and Leland Vittert was on his best behavior.

He's actually a very competent interviewer when he's not being hostile and obnoxious to his guests.

Keep it up, Leland.
