Walter "Walt" Vick is an investigative journalist and lead anchor at Weazel News, the controversial 24-hour cable news channel delivering reactionary perspectives to viewers across San Andreas.

Vick's early career involved reporting for various local Los Santos news stations before being recruited by Weazel News in 2013. His bold style quickly gained notice.

As lead anchor, Vick hosts the primetime "Just the Truth" news hour, leveraging his confrontational, anti-establishment approach to grill guests and deliver scathing commentaries. Topics focus on crime, corruption, immigration and economic issues.

The show's shameless catering to viewer outrage over nuance makes Vick a polarizing figure, beloved by loyal Weazel viewers but despised by critics. Awards and ethical violations mark his divisive tenure.

Beyond broadcasting, Vick contributes political opinion pieces to Weazel's right-wing web platform. His columns denounce culture, protest movements, unions, regulation and progressive policies.

A staunch traditionalist, Vick rejects notions of unbiased journalism. For him, the media's duty is promoting an agenda, not objectivity. This unapologetic honesty appeals to Weazel's target audience.

Off-camera, Vick leads a flamboyant lifestyle enabled by his half a million annual contract. His social media feeds flaunt fast cars and celebrity antics.
