How did Stuart Varney make his money?
He joined Radio Hong Kong as a broadcaster after coming to Hong Kong. He would assist in covering a variety of events during this time, and he briefly worked as a voice actor for a dubbing company established by fellow Radio Hong Kong presenter Matthew Oram. Prior to starting his career in broadcast journalism at KEMO-TV (now KOFY-TV) in San Francisco, he was still employed by Radio Hong Kong. Then, on June 1, 1980, the newly established 24-hour news network CNN invited him to serve in its Manhattan bureau. He was the host of Moneyline with Willow Bay, Business Day, and Business Asia on CNN. After leaving CNN in 2001, he became the host of CNBC’s “Wall Street Journal Editorial Board with Stuart Varney.”
In January 2004, he joined the business team of Fox News. When Fox Business Network debuted in October 2007, he became an anchor for the network. During the July 19, 2011 episode of Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto, Varney challenged the notion that the poor in America are “starving and living in squalor,” citing a Heritage Foundation report that showed how well-off the poor in America actually are by owning household appliances. “The idea that people in poverty are starving and living in squalor is not true,” Varney said in closing. They lack the richness of spirit, but many of them possess material possessions. That’s what I think.”
Varney caused controversy in 2013 by criticizing Pope Francis for his remarks about the income divide and his criticism of unrestrained capitalism as a system that “rules rather than serves.” “I go to church to save my soul,” Varney said. My vote has nothing to do with it. The two have been connected by Pope Francis. He has openly criticized a particular political structure. He has given that system a bad description. He may be trying to sway my political views.
Republican congressman Louie Gohmert reiterated a bogus conspiracy theory about George Soros in an interview conducted in December 2018: that he “turned on fellow Jews and helped take the property that they owned.” The segment continued without Varney responding to Gohmert’s remarks. Later, Varney called the comments “unsubstantiated and false allegations” and distanced himself from them.
