sabotabbyAaaaaand the award for "Hack Journalist of the Day" goes to the Toronto Sun's Rachel Marsden. I, like many of you, saw her featured in CBC's "Sticks and Stones" (the one where Ann Coulter claimed that Canada had participated in the Vietnam War), but she's been recently brought to the attention of Toronto ARA for two articles.
In one, she advocates eugenics and executing teenagers. In the other, she calls the First Nations activists defending their land in Caledonia hooligans and terrorists.
Naturally, some of my friends decided to send her (and the Sun) angry letters. They report that her responses were instantaneous (sent from her Blackberry!) and completely unhinged. You might get an idea of how unhinged by checking out the Wikipedia controversy page, where she attempts to get her not-so-flattering article deleted.
If you like her writing as much as ARA does, why not e-mail a note of appreciation to the Sun: editor@tor.sunpub.com. For extra lolz, e-mail her personally at rachel@rachelmarsden.com and post the response you get in the comments!
Confidential to a few folks: Fun party, huh?
No, really, I'm asking 'cause I don't remember. But I ended up with a copy of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. El oh el. (It's okay; it came from another Jew.)

(I actually have heard of her before, but I ahvent' followed her rants that closely. We usually keep tabs on bill o'rly and ann and rush and all of our local fasicsts over here...)
