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 participated in meetings with various shadowy right-wing groups.

While based in [[Toronto]], Marsden started out with the [[Fox News Channel]] in 2004 as the Canadian Correspondent for [[The O'Reilly Factor]] -- the top-rated cable news show in the world -- after she was spotted as a regular panelist on [[Dennis Miller]]'s [[CNBC]] show in [[Los Angeles]].  She was recruited by [[Rupert Murdoch]]’s chief lieutenant and former [[Ronald Reagan]] communications strategist, [[Fox News]] CEO [[Roger Ailes]], who personally selected her to be the only conservative (and only woman) on a daily talk show with three other co-hosts.

After several months, Marsden left the show, stating, “The show has drastically changed direction since its inception and no longer has a place for a political expert.” She has since appeared on Fox Business, and still digs Roger Ailes - and Bill O'Reilly.
