After working as a producer, anchor, camerawoman, and reporter for a cable news outlet in her hometown, and as a videographer for [[Rugby Canada]] and [[BC Rugby]], her first major media position was with [[ABC News]]’ [[20/20]] in New York City, where she apprenticed under [[Connie Chung]] and learned that you can't live in New York City on $5/day.  After an apprenticeship in talk-radio at the [[Radio America]] Network in Washington, DC, Marsden was hired as Director of a DC-based conservative think-tank that was a key component of President [[George W. Bush]]’s beltway coalition during the lead-up to the [[Iraq War]].

She returned to her native Canada to work as an operative on two simultaneous federal campaigns for current Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]]’s [[Conservative Party]] in the province of [[Directory:British Columbia|British Columbia]], specializing in communications strategy and opposition intelligence. The Prime Minister picked a fight with her in a hissy-fit that ended up all over the news, but Marsden is pretty sure they're cool now. She will know for sure when she gets invited to his place for the annual garden party next year. At the same time, she began contributing to [[United Press International]] (UPI), and hosting a call-in talk-radio show in [[Vancouver]], [[BC]], where she interviewed and debated guests ranging from Canada’s then Deputy Prime Minister, [[Sheila Copps]], and current [[International Trade Minister]], [[Stockwell Day]], to [[Ann Coulter]] and [[Watergate]] figure [[G. Gordon Liddy]] of the [[Richard Nixon]] administration.
