Prior to joining Fox News in 1999, Quinn was an anchor for NBC's early morning show Sunrise. Additionally, she was once the co-host of MSNBC's Morningline and anchored a number of breaking news events. She also served as a morning news anchor on WCBS and a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York City.
[edit] Controversy
During a broadcast of Fox News Live in January 2005, an interview between Quinn and Judy Bachrach, contributing editor at Vanity Fair, about the Bush presidential inauguration. The interview appeared as confrontational, Quinn appearing to be surprised at the response of Bachrach when she described the inauguration being too "lavish" during a time of war. [1]
In the following days, a video clip of the interview was uploaded to iFilm and soon received over 800,000 views. Washingtonian's Harry Jaffe interviewed Bachrach, who said she was scheduled to appear for 10 minutes, but the segment only lasted three. She also said while leaving the FNC studios, "I got icy stares", she says. "It was like being among Moonies." [2]
