Harfenist started producing The Resident for the Internet in 2000 and began airing it weekly on Manhattan Neighborhood Network's (MNN) channel 67 in New York City in December, 2004. It continues to run weekly on both media. She's also an activist-reporter for "G Word," the daily news program on Discovery Communications environmentally-conscious network, PlanetGreen.

She also acts as an "on-the-street" reporter for RT in New York City.[3]

The Resident on network television

Segments from "The Resident" have also appeared on many national network television programs, including:

"The FOX Report with Shepard Smith" on FOX News
"The Roland Martin Show" on CNN
"News To Me" on CNN Headline News
"The Fizz" on DIRECTV

Isn't it just wonderful that our Teapublicans friends have allowed the world to view us in this light?
Sure, we know they're whacked out but does the rest of the world know them as well as we do?

Her tone combines just the right level of satire directed at Teabaggers and mocking of America itself to not entirely be sure if serious.....

And I don't need to hear commentators lump them with Occupy in some sort of semi-serious manner.

They're looking to siphon off legitimate revolutionary energy and get intel on up and coming protesters.

Pretending an utter fail supported by less than 200-300 people in a country of 300 million is a legitimate national movement worthy of international coverage is Goebbels-esque on the propaganda scale.

Ever since their pro-neonazi coverage of gays being beaten in Russia, I have refused to watch.
It makes me sad that RT is still posted on DU.
