Fox News Rachel Marsden, Red Eye-Candy, Escorted Out By Security?
Gawker.com is reporting that Toronto Sun columnist Rachel Marsden, Red Eyes’ humorless, neo-con trouble-magnet hired mostly for her great legs, was escorted out by security a few hours ago.
Salon did the digging and unearthed a creepy history. “The 31-year-old columnist is already well known in her native Canada as an oft-accused and once-admitted stalker who made questionable rape charges of her own 10 years ago, in a case that eventually cut short the career of a university president and changed the tenor of harassment cases all over Canada. In 1999, a professor at the same university went to the police with charges Marsden was stalking him, and in 2004 she pleaded guilty to criminally harassing a former Vancouver radio host.”
But the Fox News attitude seemed to be — but, oh, never mind that. She’s a neo-con! Yaaay! And a hottie, too.
Asked Salon: “What was Fox thinking?”
Should they have thought twice?
This is the second time in the space of a week that a Red Eye regular has gone down in Fox flames.
Last week, Red Eye’s entertainment pundit, Julia Allison, made a wacky but funny remark about the show. “Because the show is so loose…,” she said to The New York Observer, “and, my God, the sh*t that we get into — the sex, the bestiality — holy crap! I can’t believe that sh*t is on Fox News!”
The irony was lost on Fox. She was banned from Red Eye.
Fox rules of conduct are hard to parse but this is my best guess: strippers and pole dancing are acceptable forms of entertainment and can even substitute for business news. Just don’t use the word — gasp! – “bestiality” even in a joking manner. That will get you canned.

Ummm.... you never really got to the reason she was escorted out. Maybe you just got to wrapped up in insulting her. It was obvious by watching the show that she wasn't very well liked.

Hey Rocky - I don't know whether to laugh at your shock-jock schtick or thwack you over the head. :)
But you're definitely the Red Eye TA - and I mean target audience.
"They" as in the Fox News/Red Eye producers? Sometimes. Andy Levy posted here once but he was having a bad day.
I kinda like Allison. They should let her stay. Come back tomorrow and give us your thoughts on the appearance of your Favorite Fox Fem.
Rocky commented:
Feed your GF sleeping pills (but not too many)! Julie Banderas is on Red Eye tonight! Do they read this?
Rocky commented:
Red Eye is on at midnight in the Rockies, so I've actually seen the show! Too bad for Rachel, though, I don't understand why her stalking any guy would be a problem. She made the wait until Andrew Levy very worthwhile. Here's hoping she's replaced by Julie Banderas, who could jump up the ratings so they could actually charge for spots!
