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.”

Marsden has since returned to her entrepreneurial roots, picking and choosing interviews, appearances and projects, and working with various television and radio networks as a free-agent. She continues to work as a political operative, opposition intelligence ("oppo") researcher and media consultant, both in the USA and overseas.

Marsden's work has been widely cited by other media: Her defense of new French President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] was referenced by the nation’s top radio talk-show host, [[Rush Limbaugh]], in encouraging Americans to stop their criticism of [[France]]. Her column “Since Jesus Isn’t Running, Why Not Rudy?” chided far-right conservatives for their lack of support for [[Republican]] presidential candidate [[Rudy Giuliani]] – a politician whose positions and policies Marsden has admitted most closely resemble her own.
