Full title: "Fox News allows Leland Vittert to commit journalistic malfeasance in ambush interview with Trump trade adviser"

A little more from the article:

"Vittert obviously began the interview with the intent of making Trump’s tariffs on China look like a bad idea. He repeatedly put words in Navarro’s mouth, and then when Navarro would try to correct him, he would interrupt and heckle him. For instance, when Navarro tried to explain how the US gains new powers to fight China by declaring it a currency manipulator, Vittert totally failed to understand him and prevented him from completing his argument."

"Navarro notices Vittert physically pushing closer to him while refusing to let him answer and says, “I don’t understand the hostility here” while holding his hands up as if to avert a threatening gesture."

"Later, Navarro says, “You can’t keep doing this. You’re being really overbearing and demonstrating a lack of understanding of the dynamics of this situation.”"

_______________________________

Smirking, puke-worthy Vittert brings his left-wing agenda to FoxNews.

Disgusting.

I bring up this article from August because this morning (1/1/20) Vittert did the very same thing to a young woman who was trying to explain to him just what Rudy Giuliani was doing over in Ukraine.

Vittert was totally ignorant to her and knew absolutely none of the facts. The young lady was trashed and treated like dirt.

****

Vittert ought to be thrown out with any other New Year's Day garbage!!

Shouldn’t any conservative politician or Trump cabinet member EXPECT every interview is going to be an “ambush?”

Leland is one of Foxnews’ resident Democrats.

I heard Vitter get into it this weekend with someone. The guy could barely get an answer out and Vitter was hitting him with both barrels. It’s not like I am against asking uncomfortable questions, but he does it in such a “Shep” kind of snarky way, it is difficult to watch.

Ask a question. Listen. Ask a follow up.

Vitter is like like a mafia guy asking questions and clipping off a finger before you hear the answer. The acceptable answer is already set in Vitter’s mind and nothing is going to change that.

Leland Vittert just shows us he has no clue as to what he is talking about. My guess is he got these questions from none other than Paul Ryan, who is clueless as well. Fox News has become worthless sans a few that sill remain who are worthwhile to tune into.

I despised Leland and Arthel from the get-go. So arrogant and smug. They are almost laughing (especially Arthel) when they speak - they think they’re soooooo smart.

To all things a season and this is especially true of a business’s credibility when it changes owners, including Fox News and many others.

Once upon a time in a reality far, far away, I used to leave my TV turned on and tuned into The Weather Channel.

Now, I never watch that channel and will go out of my way to find weather information elsewhere.

I also don’t watch Fox News anymore, either. I quit going to Starbucks, stopped wearing Levis and I don’t shop at JC Pennys, Target and quite a few others, too.

Oh well ... to all things a season, including this era and these times.

I remember watching this HOSTILE “interview” live. It was quite revealing. Navarro handled it much better than I would have.

Simple solution: Do not make any Trump officials available for the Fox Weekend show anymore. EVER. The rest will work itself out naturally.

He was at it again this morning. Like every morning he is on. He was trying to embarrass an evangelical pastor about antisemitism and as soon as the pastor started fighting back with specific facts instead of fantasy, Little Leland cut him off.

I think Little Leland would be happier at CNN after seeing some lowlights from that channel’s New Year’s Eve uncoverage of the LGBT celebration by their staff.

Never watch Fox News on the weekends because of The Dumb Duo! They are unwatchable and are more like The View. You lose brain cells watching them.

Unfortunately I find that most Freepers are globalist Free Traitors™ and would agree with that POS Vittert about tariffs.
