Stuart Varney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuart Varney is an economic journalist, currently working for Fox News, but is well-known for his work on CNN. Varney joined Fox News in January 2004 as a business contributor on many shows, such as Your World with Neil Cavuto. Varney will also occasionally serve as guest host for Your World and the shows on the Cost of Freedom business block.
Varney graduated from the London School of Economics. In 1980 he joined CNN, and hosted shows like Business Day and Business Asia. From 1999 to 2001, he hosted CNN’s Moneyline with Willow Bay. Varney has also worked for CNBC.
It's reported that Varney quit CNN after he failed to get great control of Moneyline. Varney, an Episcopalian, was also outraged by CNN founder Ted Turner's referring to employees who wore ashes on their heads on Ash Wednesday as "Jesus freaks." When he was hired at Fox News he said, "I'm from that side of the fence that says there is such a thing as a liberal establishment, and it is alive and well in American media outlets." He also said Fox News "moves everyone back toward the center." [1]
