Fox knows it's audience
And, thankfully, it's not me. Unfortunately, Rachel Marsden will follow in the footsteps of Ann Coulter and will make a fortune based on lies and innuendos.
Good luck America.

do I hear dr. evil?
send in the fembots!

Am I missing something?
This horse-faced, lank-haired excuse for womanhood is a babe?!?
Times sure have changed from when I was a lad!
-
Another Matt Sanchez?
That would just be too good to be true--somebody digs up an old porn with Rachel al-fresco.
'beebop' might have to resurrect 'clowsense' for that one. I might even chip in a buy a copy for Bill O'Fricken Riley.
The new characters for Tom Tomorrow just keep comming.

Bingo
"She used these people, who were only too willing to jump on her bandwagon," said Boyd. "I'm not sure that she ever really presented herself as a feminist as much as she took advantage of an openness to victimization that existed on the university campus at that time."
Couldn't have said it better myself. This woman is a sociopath. She belongs in therapy, not on television.

Rebecca Trashier
I don't know what Salon was thinking.
Marsden may indeed be all she is accused of.
But what does that make Rebecca, trashier?

Traister finally earns her chops as a reporter and journalist
All prior bullshit is forgiven, Rebecca. This is actual reporting--well-written, expertly documented, and quite a (forgive me) revealing look at Rachel Marsden. And thankfully free of faux feminist claptrap! Meaning: no one gets a free pass and the truth is what matters, not ideology.

Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
So...now FOX Noise has to go north to sink further down into the sludge that is their habitat. When is someone going to wise up and put this amoral, junk-ass, "news outlet" out of business?
My God. Some people will eat animal excrement if it's covered with chocolate. This is clearly desperation on the part of the network that has seen all but the most ardently radical whack-jobs leave the fold for saner pastures. Every cult needs a slut high-priestess, I guess. Since Ann Coulter is getting, shall we say, a bit hollowed out, they need some new blood to feed the beast. So comes now this pretty package of trouble from the Great White North. This can't end well.

But Becca...
...I thought women never lied about rape? Isn't that the party line over on Broadsheet?
-
wait a sec
Laura Ingraham is considered a babe?!? By whom? I can see how someone with very limited eyesight might mistake Ann Coulter for a babe... but Laura... and that horsey laugh to go with the face... good god no...

The State of Television News
Real journalists must be mortified about the slide of broadcast news into tabloidism. Clearly, Fox News adopting the voice of conservatism is only a ratings choice designed to give a news corporation a distinctive brand. How sad.
Of course, I'm still aghast over Katie Couric's "some would say" interview with the Edwards. And she is paid how much money to produce the dreck she turns out?
When will journalists reclaim their turf and blast these ceos who hire female journalists as if they are judges at a beauty pageant? What happened to the standards of the fourth estate? Why aren't more professionals embarassed about the trivialization of their industry?
-
WTF?
"But in the Duke exchange, any viewer who knew anything about Marsden, whom Fox is clearly grooming for brand-name pundit stardom, might have felt a fleeting moment of sympathy for her"
Why the hell should I ever feel sorry for her? false claims of rape, multiple stalkings', ruining the careers of two guys
"But for women's rights advocates, the process did not work. They supported Marsden in her purported hour of need, only to get kicked in the gut"
Sorry, but the process isn't there for women's rights activists, its meant to be about Justice, not ideology, fantastical as that might seem.
However, apart from my usual bitchin points :) that was an excellent article, full of facts, and on the whole analysis rather than opinion. I look forward to more of the same.
p.s Does anyone else notice the uncanny physical resemblance between Coulter and Marsden? the elongated neck, face and limbs, the maniacal gleam, maybe she overdosed on steroids in her swim team days.

"Clear and Balanced" fitting for this AD MinistersRations..
FOX this noose.

A past too long ignored
As a Canadian, resident of Vancouver and former journalist, Ms. Marden's rise to fame without a whimper from the press on this side of the 49th parallel has been disturbing.
Editors who have employed and paid her have failed the professional as a whole, leaving a bad taste in anyone's mouth who has tried to make it by having a clean record and doing an honest day's work.
This article is a long time coming. Thanks for it. I hope helps knock Ms. Marsden off the air and out of the papers. Like anyone else, she deserves to leave her past behind, but her lack of credibility should keep her on the fringes of journalism.

Dear Editor,
This is an interesting article. Actually, despite being a political scientist and living in Canada all my life, I'd never heard of Rachel Marsden. Of course, the Sun newspapers are absolute trash and I don't read them, so that probably explains it. However, I do remember the Simon Fraser University case very well - at the time, it was portrayed as an example of political correctness gone mad. I did not know that the woman involved was Ms. Marsden, and that is a fact that really does call a lot of things into question. I certainly support the idea of giving people a second chance, but Ms. Marsden seems to have a long-established pattern of stalking. She clearly needs help. I can only hope that she has found some kind of serious therapy and that she really won't be appearing before some criminal court ever again. But, quite honestly, I suspect that this is not the last that we've heard of this kind of behaviour coming from her. (And isn't Ms. Marsden referring to Presidnent Ahmadinejad of Iran as "crazy" a bit rich, given her history?)
At any rate, one less scary conservative in Canada can't be a bad thing. Sorry for foisting these people on you Americans, but better you than us. Besides they fit in better south of the border.
One last point: her co-hosts did not know what the Gulf of Tonkin was? And the fact that Ms. Marsden did makes her a political expert? I would say that's stretching things a bit, but then Fox is not known for the quality of its news coverage, so I guess that's par for the course.
Sincerely,
Shaun Narine
