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!

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.
It was unmistakable.
Every time he’s on. Chris Wallace too. The reason is simple. Foxnews is trying to move further to the left. It became obvious that was their strategy after they were excluded from the Dem debates.
He’s a weasley little piss-ant, and overly impressed with himself.
Well, for once my instincts were right. I have disliked this guy immensely from the 1st time I ever saw him, which was when he first came on Fox News. He comes across as an arrogant know-it-all.
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.
Fox. Do we need more? Didn’t think so.
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.
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.
I saw that. It was a Congressman and I tweeted to Vittert that he was rude for constantly interrupting. I’m sure he cared/s
I wonder if FOX are prepping us for the 2020 Elections...???
Last night, NEW YEARS EVE I was on Fox waiting for them to go to TIMES SQ. FOR THE BALL DROP...
At 11P.M. they re run THE FIVE, that we watched at 5 P.M. and no way in hell did I want to listen to chubby Marie Barff a second time...
FOX SHOWED ‘NO’ NEW YEARS CELEBRATIONS EVENT other than a few clips of the crowd? simply amazing..I was pissed...
Then speaking to my adult daughter, she said she heard on FOX AND FRIENDS that this year Fox was not going to do the ‘ball drop’ on New Years Eve...
well, Fox chased me to CNN (which I never watch) but I only stayed there for awhile and then moved to ABC DICK CLARK'S NEW YEAR CELEBRATION...AND I stayed there for half hour after the ball drop...but long enough to give them a rating...
What ever...I don't have FOX NEWS on in my house on week ends...other, than for Justice..and on Sunday nite for Levin and the British dude. Guess I'll limit our week days at FOX AS WELL...
OK...off my rant...but FOX NEWS IS CHANGING....WISH THE TRUMP BOYS WOULD BEGING A NEWS NETWORK ON CABLE...and blow all the liberals away....
Leland Vittert is Mike Wallace’s ‘mini me’
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.
