Career

Marsden first broke into print journalism in the early 2000s, writing for conservative web sites and The Washington Times. She was a regular National Post columnist for several months in 2005 before joining the Toronto Sun as a weekly opinion columnist, a position held until November 2007. In 2006, she moved from Toronto to New York.

Marsden was a frequent guest on Dennis Miller Live when she was spotted to become the Canadian pundit for The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. Marsden was employed by the Fox News Channel from 2004[2] to May 2007.[3] She was promoted to panelist on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld, a late-night talk show. A producer on Red Eye praised Marsden, saying that "she has very passionate opinions...she's articulate, intelligent, and we get a lot of favorable mail about her".[4]

Her political commentary has been reprinted by other journals, including the New York Post and NewsMax Media.[2]
