Salon has an article about Rachel Marsden, one of the contributors to "Red Eye," an anti-liberal equivalent to "The Daily Show," airing on Fox News. Before rising to the status of Ann Coulter's Canadian doppelganger with a regular column at the Toronto Sun newspaper, Marsden was last seen as a "Canadian correspondent" on "The O'Reilly Factor." Before blitzing the United States, Marsden achieved fame in Canada for questionably accusing an Simon Fraser swim coach of rape and sexual harassment and plunging the school and its administration into chaos, pleading guilty to criminally harassing a Vancouver radio host, working for a Conservative party MP under a false name, and lying about her media experience on her resume. Salon reports that on the web page of one of her failed communication pursuits, she once opined that "Your image is your calling card."
I'll let you add your own punch line here, but it's unfortunate that in the attack on the objectivity of the "mainstream media", the concept of credibility also went with it.
