Stuart Varney—The Smug Face Of Economically-Ignorant Mainstream Journalism

Posted by: madisonclassicalliberal in Monetary Policy, Welfare

Economically-ignorant mainstream journalists (Stuart Varney etc.):

Overstock.com’s CEO Patrick Byrne talks with reason and quotes Milton Friedman and Ludwig von Mises.  Stuart Varney spews some blarney.

    Stuart Varney threw that sentence in there about Patrick Byrne being wrong on gold at the last second so Varney wouldn’t have to explain himself. Who is going to miss mainstream TV journalism when it also goes extinct?
