Salon has a long take on Fox’s new conserva-babe commentator Rachel Marsden’s somewhat checkered past. Sleepless channel prowlers may know her from “Red Eye,” an overnight talker on Fox News Channel, where she has been known to pipe into the kegger commentary with such pithy punditry as “Maybe [Pakistani cricket fans] should focus less on cricket and a little more on hygiene.” While it seems she is being groomed by the network to be the next Ann Coulter, Salon wonders if her record (and by record, they mean police record) may undermine her credibility.
