</div><div>Conservative pundit and syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin has a long history of divisive rhetoric around a range of issues - particularly immigration. In the past year, however, she has publicly and explicitly allied herself with white supremacists, particularly the so-called “groypers,” appearing on white supremacist podcasts and other online programs. Malkin’s bold support of and interaction with white supremacists points to the increasingly fine line between people who call themselves “American nationalists” and recognizable white supremacy.</div><div>
</div><div>A history of divisiveness</div><div> </div><div><b>Malkin’s columns and books paint a picture of America under siege by enemies and outsiders<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">.</span></b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> In 2002, she wrote her first book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores, which painted immigrants as unwelcome enemies and criminals. In her 2004 book, In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror, she defends both the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II and racial profiling of Arab and Muslim Americans after 9/11.</span></div><div>
</div><div><b>Her latest book, Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction?, released in September 2019, focuses on her claims that churches and various nonprofit organizations are contributing to what Malkin sees as unfettered immigration to the U.S., which she believes is destroying the country.</b> In the book, she blamed some mainstream conservatives for embracing the status quo on immigration, and criticized other groups spanning the political spectrum for facilitating increasing immigration to the U.S.</div><div>
</div><div>When discussing the book during a Facebook live promotional event, Malkin appeared alongside <b>Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. </b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> When McInnes promulgated George Soros conspiracy theories, asserting the discredited claim that Soros, a child in Hungary at the time, was “not a Holocaust survivor” but rather a “Holocaust facilitator,” Malkin agreed with him.</span></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">One month later, in an October 1, 2019, column attacking ADL, Malkin dismissed the violent and deadly actions by white supremacists at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 by accusing “left” organizations of exploiting “the riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, as a means of demonizing all Trump supporters and nationalist activists while giving cover to antifa…”</span></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In March 2020, Malkin’s column about a speech she gave at a groyper conference that month reflected her bigoted views. She wrote, “America will look like the cover of Ilhan Omar’s new book. It will look like the no-go zones of the Twin Cities. It will look like the serial predator-infested public schools in Montgomery County,</span> Maryland. It will not look like this room. This is not conspiracy replacement theory. This is conspiracy truth.” By this point, Malkin was echoing many of the views promoted by white supremacists, joining the battle against what they call “Conservative, Inc.,” otherwise known as the mainstream conservative movement.</div><div>

</div><div>Michelle Malkin is interviewed by Canadian white supremacist Faith Goldy at CPAC on March 3, 2019.</div><div>
</div><div>Breaking with mainstream conservatism, Malkin aligns herself with the groypers</div><div> </div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">At the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which describes itself as “the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world,” Malkin gave a speech that was very critical of mainstream conservatism, saying, “It’s the <b>GOP sellouts in bed with open borders—like the ones who hijacked the Tea Party movement to shill for amnesty</b>—who are the real grifters cashing in and practicing deceit at the expense of their base.”</span></div><div>
</div><div>Malkin had for years expressed concern about demographic changes in the U.S. she attributed to the rise in immigration of people from undeveloped countries, but her unease appeared to grow at what she perceived to be a complacent response from the conservative establishment. She also argued that anti-establishment “dissidents” were being attacked verbally and assaulted at political events.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Through much of 2019, Malkin was regularly invited to speak at mainstream conservative events and also spoke on behalf of Young America’s Foundation (YAF</b>), a conservative youth organization, as part of their speakers’ bureau. By November 2019, however, Malkin’s association with <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">YAF would change drastically. Early in the month, Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, gave a speech at Stanford University on behalf of YAF, in which he argued that the alt right, including the groypers, were racist and trying to sabotage conservatives by heckling them in public. </span></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The groypers, a loose network of alt right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and<b> “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes,</b> were in the midst of a campaign to disrupt speeches by mainstream conservatives like Shapiro and Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative  student organization. The groypers were showing up at events and asking questions designed to embarrass the speakers.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Shortly afterwards, Malkin gave a speech at UCLA titled, “America First: the Torch Is Being Passed,” in which she criticized Shapiro.  She praised Fuentes and the groypers as “patriotic conservatives.” She also called Fuentes one of the “New Right leaders.” </span></div><div><b>
</b></div><div><b>Malkin’s UCLA speech was praised by numerous white supremacists, including Fuentes, neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin and James Fulford, a writer for VDare</b>. YAF, meanwhile, dismissed Malkin from the organization, tweeting, “There is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists.” In reply, Malkin tweeted, “The Keepers of the Gate have spoken.  My defense of unjustly prosecuted Proud Boys, patriotic young nationalists/groypers & demographic truth-tellers must not be tolerated…”</div><div>
</div><div><b>At the end of January 2020, Malkin announced on Twitter that she would be a speaker at the first America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), sponsored by the founders of America First Students,</b> which describes itself as a “campus conservative organization” but was created by groyper activists. The Washington, D.C. conference featured a number of white supremacists as speakers, including Fuentes, Patrick Casey, who heads American Identity Movement, and Scott Greer, who wrote, using a pseudonym, for the white supremacist journal Radix.         </div><div>

</div><div>Michelle Malkin tweets on January 31, 2020, about her plans to speak at the America First Political Action Conference.</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Malkin has positioned herself as a guiding, parental figure for America Firsters and groypers, who openly express racism, antisemitism and other forms of bigotry. Malkin herself made antisemitic remarks at the AFPAC event, wondering aloud why she wasn’t able to question the number of people killed during the Holocaust or talk about the “dual loyalty” of American Jews.</span></div><div>
</div><div>Malkin began her speech by remarking to the crowd, including Fuentes and Casey, “Thank you. Thank you. Mommy’s in the house.” She talked about her building anger, saying, “A fury had welled up inside me a year ago that had long been simmering.”  She mentioned the “betrayals of the GOP establishment when it comes to engineering and succumbing to demographic conquest.”</div><div>
</div><div>In a column about AFPAC afterwards, she referred to the groypers as “serious young men who never take themselves too seriously in their shared mission to end mass migration, restore law and order, and conserve and uphold actual conservative values” and she saluted “their sardonic humor and irreverence layered over their core America First message.”</div><div>

</div><div><b>A number of days later, Malkin used her Telegram account to comment on various alt right and alt lite figures being banned by mainstream social media sites like Twitter,</b> claiming she and others were experiencing “ruthless dehumanization.” The post was circulated on Telegram, including by a group associated with the neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM). With a nod to the irony so popular within the alt right, Malkin signed her post “Love, NAZI MOM.” </div><div>

</div><div>Malkin strengthens ties to white supremacists and right wing extremists</div><div> </div><div><b>Malkin’s bigoted views have paved the way for ties with fringe figures like white supremacist Peter Brimelow, who operates the racist, anti-immigrant site, VDare (which runs her columns), Proud Boys founder McInnes and Laura Loomer, </b>a right wing anti-Muslim bigot currently running for Congress in Florida (whose campaign Malkin supports).* In March 2019, Malkin was interviewed by Faith Goldy, a Canadian white supremacist who was reporting on the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) for VDare. Malkin told Goldy, “Deplatforming dissenting voices is a ruthless, bizarre and unprogressive way to achieve ‘diversity and inclusion.’”</div><div>
</div><div>Since appearing at AFPAC, Malkin has continued to align herself with white supremacists and fringe figures to promote their views.  In May 2020, Right-Wing Watch reported that Malkin was collaborating with right wing provocateur <b>Milo Yiannopoulos to create an “America First” reading list, </b>recommending books for their supporters to read. The list includes a number of well-known antisemitic works, including The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, The Culture of Critique by retired antisemitic professor Kevin MacDonald and The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit by antisemite E. Michael Jones.</div><div><b>
</b></div><div><b>In January 2020, American Renaissance, a white supremacist online publication run by Jared Taylor, began syndicating Malkin’s columns.</b>  Malkin’s personal website now directs readers to the Unz Review, a site that features numerous white supremacists and antisemites and is run by Ron Unz, who has written a number of antisemitic tracts.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Malkin has also appeared on white supremacist online broadcasts, including white supremacist Vincent James Foxx’s YouTube channel, and Red Ice TV,</b> which is run by white supremacist husband/wife team Henrik Palmgren and Lana Loktelff.  Malkin also did a livestream show in May 2020 featuring Faith Goldy, as well as right wing commentators Cassandra Fairbanks and Asley Rae Goldenberg. In July 2020, Patrick Casey interviewed Michele Malkin on his podcast “Restoring Order.”</div><div>
</div><div>Malkin has clearly crossed a boundary in terms of her association with white supremacists. Nick Fuentes and the groypers present themselves as Christian conservatives and American nationalists while they attempt to normalize white supremacist views. Malkin justifies her embrace of those views by arguing that her “enemies” (the left, mainstream media, social media sites and now mainstream conservatives) are attacking “dissident voices,” including her own. </div><div>

She referenced the one million given legal permanent resident status in America each year and a predicted increase of 10 million green card holders by 2025.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When a long list of prominent Democrats became the target of a domestic terrorist campaign in 2018, many people on the far right were quick to assume it was all a left-wing hoax. But the bombs mailed to billionaire George Soros, former President Barack Obama, 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and others were quick real. And now, similarly, some extremists on the far right are assuming that the violent attack on actor/singer Jussie Smollett in Chicago this week is simply a left-wing plot to discredit Donald Trump’s presidency.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">TMZ reported that after Smollett (best known for his portrayal of R&B singer Jamal Lyon on the Fox television series “Empire”) left a Subway in Chicago in the wee hours, he was beaten by two men in ski masks who used racial and anti-gay slurs and told him, “This is MAGA country.” Smollett, who is African-American and openly gay, suffered a broken rib but was well enough to be discharged from Chicago’s Northwestern Hospital on Tuesday morning, January 29. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Chicago police are investigating the attack on Smollett, who had been threatened before his arrival in the Windy City. A note sent to Fox’s Chicago studio, according to TMZ, warned, “You will die, black fr.” But the pro-Trump Reddit page The Donald is full of Trump supporters who insist that Smollett is lying.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One of the Trumpistas on The Donald posted that Smollett “got mugged and is trying to turn himself into a race martyr.” And another described the attack as “another phony hate crime.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Far-right columnist Michelle Malkin, in a January 30 piece for Creators Syndicate, asserted that she was “skeptical” because descriptions of the attack on Smollett are full of “oddities and discrepancies.” And she believes that media accounts of the attack have all the signs of “manufactured ‘news’” and “smears first, facts later.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin wrote, “Question: How many racist homophobic menaces wander around the upscale Streeterville neighborhood of liberal Chicago at 2 a.m. carrying rope and bleach, yelling about ‘MAGA country?’ Question: How many racist homophobic menaces have ever heard of ‘Empire,’ could recognize Jussie Smollett, or know or care anything about his sexuality?”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">On Steven Crowder’s far-right Louder With Crowder website, editor at large Courtney Kirchoff wondered if TMZ had fabricated the story. Kirchoff wrote, “Is this a possible fake news story? Possibly.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Conservative Daily News website has been pushing the “fake news” narrative as well. Contributor Andrew Aleksi-Lankinen wrote, “The claim that two Trump supporters were just waiting with rope and bleach at 2 a.m. for some celebrity to attack makes absolutely no sense whatsoever…. This could all just be a P.R. stunt by Smollett.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Even right-wing Republicans who are expressing sympathy for Smollett are not safe from outraged Trumpistas and conspiracy buffs who believe that the attack on him is a hoax.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">On January 29, anti-Trump conservative Ana Navarro (a frequent guest on CNN) visited Twitter and posted, “I saw Jussie Smollett in Miami last week. I can’t believe this happened. It is sad and disgusting and deplorable.” And a Trump supporter who goes by Jali_Cat was furious with Navarro, tweeting, “You disgusting hateful bitch….. U r the epitome of fake news and of a FAKE REPUBLICAN! Can not WAIT til God knee jerks you down ten notches @ananavarro!”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Another Twitter user, who goes by MidAtlantic Woman, posted, “@ananavarro doesn’t care if it is true, as long as it hurts our President.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2014, Smollett was cast as Jamal Lyon, a gay R&B singer. And the Northern California native came out as gay during a March 2015 interview with Ellen DeGeneres. In addition to his acting, Smollett has recorded an album: 2018’s Sum of My Music.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Conservatives Throw a Temper Tantrum</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The loudest outcry came from the right-wing shock jocks like Rush Limbaugh, who claimed that Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama were "portraying standard, ordinary, everyday conservatives as posing a bigger threat to this country than al-Qaeda terrorists or genuine enemies of this country like Kim Jong-Il."  Sean Hannity warned his Fox News viewers that “if you have a pro-life bumper sticker on your car, if you have an 'America is overtaxed' bumper sticker, if you have a pro-Second Amendment bumper sticker, they're viewing you potentially as a radical.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In possibly the most deranged interpretation, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin wrote that the report was a “hit job on conservatives” and “one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real….the piece of crap report issued on April 7 is a sweeping indictment of conservatives.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In a sad sort of irony, Johnson told SPLC that the conservative media personalities who misinterpreted and attacked his report “would have been shocked to know that I personify conservatism. I'm an Eagle Scout. I'm a registered Republican. I'm Mormon. In fact, I was helping the Boy Scouts with a fundraiser when I heard the report being attacked on the news."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Outrage over the report's findings quickly spread to Congress, where several conservative lawmakers demanded the ouster of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. Among them was Rep. John Carter, R-Tex., who remarked, "We shouldn't even give her the respect of letting her resign. She should be fired by the administration for accusing honest, American citizens — because of their political beliefs — of being domestic terrorists."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The self-described conservative and Christian non-profit Thomas More Law Center went even further and filed a lawsuit against Secretary Napolitano on behalf a Michigan-based anti-abortion group, claiming the DHS report was all part of a conspiracy between the Obama administration and liberal groups to violate their constitutional rights.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The section of the report that stirred the most controversy referred to “disgruntled military veterans” and cautioned that “rightwing extremists would attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans to boost their violent capabilities.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">10/22/14 7:00am</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">She's baaaaaack and just in time for midterms, too! After months of blessed silence from her particular brand of harpy-ism, Malkin has returned with a new film about how four liberal billionaires have "taken over" Colorado.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The trailer is about all sane people should be able to handle. They shoveled in as many wingnuts as possible to talk about guns, gays, God, and of course, voter fraud. That was part of the focus of her appearance with Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night, because we have an election coming up and what would an election be without Fox angst over brown people voting?</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Over the course of a decade, a once-red state has become more Democratic – and a new film, hosted by Michelle Malkin, tells the story of how that happened. “Rocky Mountain Heist,” produced by Citizens United, is a documentary which reveals how a wealthy liberal quartet took over the state.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin and Citizens United President David Bossie were on “The Kelly File” tonight to discuss the film.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin said that Citizens United and Bossie “have been absolute warriors in this fight” to inform the public. She said it was even a battle to get the film out, calling it a victory for conservative political speech.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“What happened here in Colorado can happen in the rest of the country,” she warned, explaining that the “Gang of Four” coordinated and used “shady nonprofits” to plot to take over the state Legislature.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The hypocrisy reeks, it smokes, it burns," she said.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">She also blasted the new voting law “voter fraud Frankenstein.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Here's the trailer, so you can see how far over the top it goes. It's Tancredo-worthy.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">If you're Malkin, everyone in Colorado is just getting high and living on the dole, I guess. Here's more on the film:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">What was the result of the “Rocky Mountain Heist,” according to Citizen United?</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Now, homelessness is at an all-time high, marijuana is smoked in once family-friendly parks, gun control is rampant and the state’s energy industry is under constant assault,” the group said in announcing the trailer Wednesday. “Unfortunately, the State of Colorado is now a perfect example of President Obama’s promise to ‘fundamentally transform America.’”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The release was held up while Citizens United went to court in Colorado to fight the requirement that they disclose the financial backers to the film. Because of course, no one would be the slightest bit interested in who paid for this fine piece of election-year scare-mongering bullshit.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In March 1996, CEI's Michelle Malkin and Michael Fumento published "Rachel's Folly," which claims that dioxin is good for you.[6] CEI's Jonathan Tolman (who holds a bachelor's degree in political science), published a study that month titled "Nature's Hormone Factory," claiming that naturally-occurring chemicals produced by plants and other living organisms are as dangerous as industrial chemicals.[7] In December of that year, CEI submitted comments opposing the EPA's proposed air quality rule to limit particulate emissions, claiming that "the EPA has failed to consider whether the proposed standard may actually increase mortality due to reductions in disposable income that compliance efforts may produce. ... At all times regulation imposes costs that mean less real income to individuals for alternative expenditure. That deprivation of real income itself has adverse health effects, in the form of poorer diet, more heart attacks, more suicides."[8]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">grotesque smear campaigns and a deluge of abuse. Recent examples include Michelle Malkin's smear campaign against a 12-year-old who testified in favor of SCHIP Rx; the bizarre multi-year campaign to discredit climate scientist Michael Mann; and the relentless haranguing of feminist video game critic Anita Sarkeesian. The goal often seems to be to “take out” the target by making the price of continuing to speak out in public so high that they quit entirely.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Not many political reporters have scored exclusives with both Sens. Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid. Scottie Nell Hughes, of the Tea Party News Network, has. She’s part of an emerging class of conservative news sites that mesh clickbait headlines and social media–friendly content with stories that bash President Obama, laud Sen. Ted Cruz, and rack up remarkable traffic.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Betsy Woodruff is a Slate staff writer.HMMN</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The dirty secret of new conservative news sites is that the ones that get the most readers are practically ignored by their fellow media outlets. Sites like the Washington Free Beacon and the Federalist have quickly won fans among conservative D.C. insiders, and their work has drawn friendly coverage—and deservedly so—from outlets like Bloomberg and Politico Magazine. (Disclosure: I wrote a freelance piece for the Federalist last year, and I think it’s a smart, important publication.) But a bunch of sites you’ve probably never heard of outpace those sites when it comes to actual readership. These new-media operations generally have tiny staffs, low national profiles, and #TCOT-friendly sensibilities. What they lack in plaudits from their peers, they compensate for in eyeballs.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">What this means for the future of conservative media is an open question. What it means for conservative media at the moment, though, is that there’s a voracious demand for viral-friendly, often-trashy news stories that reify right-wing ideas. Expect to see more of those stories in the future.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">If there’s one conservative news site that’s been sorely overlooked by media reporters, it’s Twitchy. Twitchy is an enigma: sometimes baffling, sometimes amusing, and—and this is really saying a lot—unlike anything else on the Internet.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The site, which political commentator Michelle Malkin founded in 2012, aggregates tweets, basically Storifying them into short posts. Its tagline is “Who said what,” and it has verticals for U.S. Politics, Entertainment, Media, and (as of now) Ferguson. You might think this is a bad concept for a website. You would be wrong.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The dirty secret of new conservative news sites is that the ones that get the most readers are ignored by their fellow media outlets.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to analytics website Alexa.com, Twitchy has more readers than the Weekly Standard, the Federalist, and the Free Beacon. It also trounces Roll Call, Reason, Commentary, and the left-wing feminist site Feministing in these rankings. Quantcast, an imperfect measure but one of the better publicly available traffic counters, estimates that Twitchy gets more than 2 million unique visitors  a month. Free Beacon’s Quantcast audience is less than half that size.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">And Twitchy generates that traffic with a teensy staff. Lori Ziganto, the site’s managing editor, said it has seven full-time employees and two part-time writers. The staff lives across the country, and they don’t have their own office. Ziganto, who lives in South Carolina, ran a blog called Snark & Boobs before Malkin tapped her to run the site, and still tweets from the same handle @snarkandboobs.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I keep that name because feminists hate it and it makes me laugh,” she said.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to Ziganto, the site can produce 40 to 45 stories on a busy day. The first writers get started at 6 a.m., and members of the team are hunting for news on Twitter until late into the night. Celebrity meltdown stories always do well, she said, as well as stories based on tweets from Fox News hosts and conservative stars like Adam Baldwin.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Also Jake Tapper,” she added. “Everybody seems to love Jake Tapper. He’s excellent at Twitter.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Twitchy stories come in a host of iterations. A number of their headlines use the term gigglesnort, which Ziganto says she coined (i.e. “Gigglesnort: Gov. Jerry Brown says fart”). Highbrow it is not. But the site boasts a few scoops, including chronicling Twitter death threats against Gov. Scott Walker that earned it a Drudge link and led to a police investigation.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The site has also brought a new word into reporters’ lexicons: Twitchied, which refers to the often days-long onslaught of Twitter attention (and, sometimes, abuse) that journalists get after being featured on the site. One D.C.-based politics reporter, who didn’t want to go on the record, said one uncharitable Twitchy story about him came up on a date. His date had Googled him before they went out, and the Twitchy story bashing him was close to the top of his results.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Igor Bobic, Huffington Post’s associate politics editor, has also faced Twitchy’s wrath. “It's become somewhat of an inside joke among reporters, and even prompts a round of congratulations,” he emailed. “What’s not fun is the avalanche of hate it immediately brings to your Twitter page, often forcing you to sign off for the next 24-48 hours.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For some left-leaning reporters, getting Twitchied is a rite of passage. “It’s one of my great professional failures that I’ve never been Twitchied,” emailed Salon’s Jim Newell. “I mean I’ve tried, I talk a lot of shit!”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Newell’s Salon colleague Simon Maloy also rues that he’s never been Twitchied. “There’s nothing substantive to it; it’s rage just for the sake of it, fueled by ideological tribalism,” he emailed. “Were I to be Twitchy’d at some point, it would make me happy knowing that something I tweeted helped so many people fulfill that raw emotional need.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So Twitchy is the rare site that has both broad-based and cult appeal (though “appeal” may be a strong word in the latter sense). Regardless, it’s quickly carved out its own odd niche in the D.C. media world.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Tea Party News Network doesn’t get that kind of inside-the-Beltway attention, but its traffic is higher. TPNN gets more traffic than the Washington Examiner, Hot Air, and Town Hall, according to TopConservativeSites, which aggregates Alexa data. Most of the site’s content is clickbait-y news aggregation (“What This MSNBC Host Said About Ferguson Rioting and Looting Will Cause You to Shout, ‘Shame on You!’,” “No Wonder People Think He’s A Weakling: Wait Until You See Why Obama Was Hospitalized”) that’s free of original reporting.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It’s also one of the few news-oriented sites willing to give a platform to birther conspiracy theories; one October headline asked, “Could Barack Obama Be Deported Over Using a Fraudulent Birth Certificate? Yes, Says Former DOJ Attorney.” And on Dec. 8, it ran a story arguing that the president “benefits from ‘black skin privilege.’ ”  </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">More surprising, the site also has remarkable access to Republican lawmakers and activists, which sometimes garners buzzy tidbits (for instance, Wayne Allyn Root told TPNN he was thinking about running against Sen. Harry Reid in 2016). Talking with TPNN gives Republican politicians and candidates a chance to talk to the base; one assumes the Wall Street Journal editorial page’s overlap in readership with TPNN is not particularly large. Scottie Nell Hughes, the site’s news director, conducts most of the interviews. She said the site has a good working relationship with soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office. But Kentucky’s other senator hasn’t spoken to her yet.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I have yet to sit down with Sen. Rand Paul, and it’s not for the lack of trying,” she said. “And you’d think that would be very odd, that Mitch McConnell would have his doors open to us and Rand Paul wouldn’t.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">House Speaker John Boehner won’t talk to them either, she added, but Sen. Marco Rubio talks to them “all the time.” Sen. Ted Cruz, not surprisingly, is another favorite.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Then there’s Independent Journal Review. It doesn’t seem to have TPNN’s access or Twitchy’s cult following, but it still tops all of them in traffic. (According to Quantcast, the IJReview brought in more than 25 million readers last month.) It also wins out over Breitbart News, Real Clear Politics, the Daily Caller, and the Washington Times. Per one of its founders, Alex Skatell, its aims are lofty.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“We’re presenting stories for every American to see in a way they’re more likely to click and share,” Skatell told BuzzFeed last year. “This helps because people who don’t care as much about politics can still stay informed through engaged friends.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Readers also stay up to speed on stories that, um, have little discernible connection to conservative politics, like “Bikini-Clad Model Annoys ‘Tough Guy’ on Live TV & Finds Out in Russia You Can Get You Walloped for That” and “A Trashy Mom Runs Her Mouth a Little Too Much. Then a Security Guard Shows Her How a Taser Works” and “UK Man Thinks Guys Should Rule Barbershop Roost, No ‘Hens’ Allowed.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Those stories intermingle with stories about how much it cost for the president to attend the G-20 summit and the latest from the Louisiana Senate race. The site doesn’t seem to have any anti-establishment animus, instead highlighting the president’s perceived foibles and missteps while touting the Republican lawmakers who needle him.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The site’s owners use a huge email list and the Conservative Daily Facebook page (more than 6 million likes) to promote their stories. Bubba Atkinson, the site’s editor-in-chief, is a Facebook savant. He always keeps an eye on the site’s analytics—“I never let that leave my sight for very long,” he says—and sometimes tweaks stories if he thinks they’re underperforming.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The most interesting thing about these sites might be their ability to rake in traffic without relying on links from the Drudge Report. They’ve scored a few links, but not nearly enough to explain their collective traffic bonanza. The best explanation for their success might be that there’s a huge, underserved population of would-be news consumers who care about national politics but aren’t interested in the inside-baseball coverage that dominates many conservative sites.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But will these new entrants reshape the conservative media landscape? I’m not so sure. I don’t have any empirical evidence for this claim, but it seems likely that the speediness of a site’s ascent could be inversely proportionate to its staying power. In other words, my suspicion would be that in the case of many viral news sites, clicks are easy come, easy go. And, in the case of sites like the Federalist and the Washington Free Beacon, slower growth could spell greater longevity. It may take a few years to see whether this hypothesis bears out, but I’d bet on it.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">What Others Say</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"Well, she (Malkin) came out with a book titled In Defense of Internment in 2004, highly touted in hard right circles, that not only seeks to justify the mass internment of Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II but argues that the same procedure could be used against Arabs and Arab Americans today. Setting aside the squalor of her thesis, and the gross distortions of data to which she resorts in "supporting" it, the fact is that the bulk of her argument on the World War II internment .... derives from a fairly obscure right-winger named Lillian Baker. Yet Baker's material is cited nowhere in Malkin's book. In fact, she isn't so much as mentioned (perhaps because Baker, who passed away some years back, was exposed by Deborah Lipstadt in Denying the Holocaust as having employed the same "scholarly methods" as neo-Nazi holocaust deniers).</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"What's the payout for Malkin? Let's start with a stint as a regular commentator-read, pet "minority" (she's Filipina)-on Fox News and Clear Channel. And let's end with an all but total silence about her "scholarly integrity" from the left. Because she is paid by [Malkin worked at the Competitive Enterprise Institute until 1995], a right-wing think-tank, rather than holding a regular faculty position somewhere? Her book is used in classes,(source needed) and she speaks regularly on campuses across the country.(source needed) If the left is going to indulge in condemning scholarly lapses -- real or imaginary -- where its own are concerned, it has at the very least an obligation to hold the right accountable to the same standards, and to do so to the best of its ability -- through alternative media, if nothing else -- using the same tools as the right." —Ward Churchill, Dissent Voice, September 20, 2005.[2]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One of the lowest and most dishonest tactics is to attempt to smear and demonize a blog by exploiting statements left on the blog by commenters despite the fact that the comments have no relationship to the arguments made by the blogger. It is no surprise that right-wing pundits have made that deceitful tactic one of their most frequently invoked weapons. The most recent example, of course, is Bill O’Reilly’s campaign to pressure Jet Blue to withdraw its sponsorship of Yearly Kos due to statements made by Daily Kos commenters who have no connection to the site other than using it to comment.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Last night on his show, O’Reilly had on Clinton advisor Howard Wolfson — who, rather meekly, was justifying Clinton’s decision to attend Yearly Kos. O’Reilly read a few cherry-picked, inflammatory comments, labelled Daily Kos a “hate site,” and then said: “Every respectable blog in the country does not permit this hatred.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Today, John Aravosis discovered several violence-inciting comments from Bill O’Reilly.com regulars, including ones threatening violence against Hillary Clinton. And O’Reilly was joined in his Decency crusade, as he always is, by his comrade and most frequent guest host, Michelle Malkin (who, oh-just-by-the-way, wrote a book defending the ethnicity-based imprisonment of innocent American citizens in interment camps). Malkin repeatedly helped to fuel the pressure on Jet Blue to sever their sponsorship of Yearly Kos.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Here is but a sampling of the views promoted by the Aribter of Upstanding Political Discourse, O’Reilly partner Michelle Malkin, on her two hate sites, MichelleMalkin.com and HotAir.com. The following comments which she promoted are all from this month, and because they are so representative of the filth she regularly promotes, they were easily found by a research assistant, Matthew Berman, in roughly an hour:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

On a daily basis, Michelle Malkin’s hate sites promote violence, rank bigotry, jihad against Muslim Americans, imprisonment of Democratic Party leaders. The comments are not deleted and are virtually never opposed. Her hate sites traffic in content which is the hallmark of white supremacism and violent groups targeting Muslims. And once she is done promoting that, she goes on Fox News and demands that corporate sponsors cut their ties with Daily Kos due to the comments left on that site.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

Malkin has a younger brother.[6] She has described her parents as Reagan Republicans who were "not incredibly politically active."[1]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin, a Roman Catholic,[1][7] attended Holy Spirit Roman Catholic High School, where she edited the school newspaper and aspired to become a concert pianist.[1]Following her graduation in 1988, she enrolled at Oberlin College.[1] Malkin originally planned to pursue a bachelor's degree in music, but changed her major to English.[1]During her college years, she worked as a press inserter, tax preparation aide, and network news librarian.[8] Her first article for the paper heavily criticized Oberlin'saffirmative action program and received a "hugely negative response" from other students on campus.[1] She graduated in 1992[9] and later described her alma mater as "radically left-wing."[1][10]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Career[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin began her journalism career at the Los Angeles Daily News, working as a columnist from 1992 to 1994. In 1995, she worked in Washington, D.C., as a journalism fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute,[11] a free-market, anti-government regulation, libertarian think tank.[12] In 1996, she moved to Seattle, Washington, where she wrote columns for The Seattle Times. Malkin became a nationally-syndicatedcolumnist with Creators Syndicate in 1999.[13][14]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For many years, Malkin was a frequent commentator for Fox News Channel and a regular guest host of The O'Reilly Factor. In 2007, she announced that she would not return to The O'Reilly Factor, claiming that Fox News had mishandled a dispute over derogatory statements made about her by Geraldo Rivera in a Boston Globe interview.[15] Since 2007, she has concentrated on her writing, blogging and public speaking, although she still appears on television occasionally, especially with Sean Hannity on Fox News and Fox & Friends once a week.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin founded the websites Hot Air, an internet broadcast network, and Twitchy.com, a Twitter content curation site.[16]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Books[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin has written five books.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Her first book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces (2002)[17] was a New York Times bestseller.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2004, she wrote In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror,[18] defending the U.S. government's internment of 112,000 Japanese Americans in prison camps during World War II, and arguing that the same procedures could be used on Arab- and Muslim-Americans today. The book engendered harsh criticism from several Asian American civil rights organizations.[19] The Historians' Committee for Fairness, an organization of scholars and professional researchers, condemned the book for not having undergone peer review and argued that its central thesis is false.[20][21] As a result of the controversy, the Hawaii-based newspaper MidWeek dropped her column in August 2004;[22] The Virginian-Pilot called her "an Asian Ann Coulter" and dropped her column in November 2004.[23] Malkin responded: "I'm not Asian, I'm American," and described the comparison to Coulter as "a compliment."[24]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin's third book, Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild, was released in October 2005.[25]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies, Malkin's fourth book, was released in July 2009[26] and was a The New York Times Non-Fiction, Hardcover Best Seller for six weeks.[27][28][29] Malkin said she hoped the book would "shatter completely the myths of hope and change in the new politics in Washington," described the Obama administration as run by "influence peddlers, power brokers and very wealthy people," and called it "one of the most corrupt administrations in recent memory."[30] She later discussed chapter two of the book, "Bitter Half: First Crony Michelle Obama," onNBC's Today show. She described Michelle Obama as "steeped in the politics of the Daley machine," and as having based her professional career on nepotism and "old white boy" network connections.[31]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs, released May 2015,[32] presents stories of American inventors and business people, directly challenging the "you didn't build that" statement made by President Barack Obama on July 13, 2012.[33]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Blogging[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">MichelleMalkin.com[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In June 2004 Malkin successfully launched a political blog, MichelleMalkin.com.[34] A 2007 memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee described Malkin as one of the five "best-read national conservative bloggers",[35] and Technorati ranks MichelleMalkin.com consistently in its "Top 100 blogs of all types".[36] In 2011, the people search company PeekYou claimed that Malkin had the largest digital footprint of any political blogger.[37]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After she criticized hip hop artist Akon for "degrading women" in a Vent episode, Akon's record label, Universal Music Group, forced YouTube to remove the video by issuing a DMCA takedown notice,[38] but decided to retract this notice[39] after the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined Malkin and Hot Air in contesting the removal as a misuse of copyright law.[40]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an interview with BusinessWeek magazine in July 2007, Malkin said, "We’re doing what few other blogs can do. We serve up terabytes of bandwidth... I'm shelling out for gold-plated servers. That's expensive, and we want to be able to withstand huge traffic surges."[41]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">She continued to contribute frequently to MichelleMalkin.com, and in June 2007, she revamped it, moving it to a larger server on WordPress.[42] With the new redesign, she re-enabled comments on her blog, which she said she had disallowed after February 2005 due to a high level of obscene and racist comments.[43] Malkin states her policy thus: "I may allow as much or as little opportunity for registration as I choose, in my absolute discretion, and I may close particular comment threads."[44]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Jamil Hussein[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Main article: Jamil Hussein controversy</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin was among the first of several bloggers who questioned the credibility and even the existence of Iraqi police Captain "Jamil Hussein" who had been used as a source by the Associated Press in over 60 stories about the Iraq war. The controversy started in November 2006 when the AP reported that six Iraqis had been burned alive as they left a mosque and that four mosques had been destroyed, citing Hussein as one of its sources. In January 2007, Malkin visited Baghdad, and stated, "the Iraqi Ministry of Interior says disputed Associated Press source Jamil Hussein does exist. At least one story he told the AP just doesn’t check out: The Sunni mosques that as Hussein claimed and AP reported as 'destroyed,' 'torched' and 'burned and blown up' are all still standing. So the credibility of every AP story relying on Jamil Hussein remains dubious."[45] Malkin has since issued a correction for her denial of Hussein's existence.[46] Malkin contests the extent of damage to the mosques as reported by the AP. Malkin visited Iraq and stated, "several mosques did, in fact, come under attack by Mahdi Army forces." She further speculated that a corroborating witness to the Hussein account who had, according to the AP, recanted due to Iraqi government pressure, instead recanted because his story wasn't true. Malkin said the summary reports she obtained from US and Iraqi army officials didn't corroborate the claim about people being burned alive while Iraqi soldiers failed to intervene.[45]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Students Against War controversy[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In April 2006, Students Against War (SAW), a campus group at University of California, Santa Cruz, staged a protest against the presence of military recruiters on campus, and sent out a press release containing contact details (names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses) of three student leaders for use by reporters. Malkin included these contact details in a blog column entitled "Seditious Santa Cruz vs. America".[47]Malkin claimed the contact information was originally taken from SAW's own website, but that later SAW had removed it and had "wiped" the "cached version".[48] The students asked Malkin to remove the contact details from her blog, but Malkin reposted them several times[49] writing in her blog: "I am leaving it up. If you are contacting them, I do not condone death threats or foul language. As for SAW, my message is this: You are responsible for your individual actions. Other individuals are responsible for theirs. Grow up and take responsibility."[47]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">SAW remarked: "Due to the continued irresponsible actions of some bloggers, members of the group have received numerous death threats and anti-Semitic comments through phone calls and emails."[50] A blog war ensued. Malkin claimed that she received hostile e-mails[51] then her private home address, phone number, photos of her neighborhood and maps to her house were published on several websites. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported receiving an email from Malkin saying that this forced her to remove one of her children from school and move her family.[52]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Another controversy involving private addresses began on July 1, 2006, when Malkin and other bloggers commented on a New York Times Travel section article that had featured the town where Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld owned summer homes. The article included a picture of Rumsfeld's long tree-lined driveway that showed a birdhouse and small portion of the housefront.[53]Malkin declared that this story was part of "a concerted, organized effort to dig up and publicize the private home information of prominent conservatives in the media and blogosphere to intimidate them." The photos of Rumsfeld's house were taken with Rumsfeld's permission.[54]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Hot Air[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Main article: Hot Air (news site)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">On April 24, 2006, Hot Air, a "conservative Internet broadcast network," went into operation, with Malkin as founder/CEO.[55] She intended the blog to provide "content and analysis you can't get anywhere else on a daily basis–both on the blog and in our original video features".[56] Her staffers included 'Allahpundit' and Bryan Preston, though the latter was replaced by Ed Morrissey on February 25, 2008.[57] In February 2010, Hotair.com was bought by Salem Communications and is no longer administered by Malkin.[58]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">VDARE[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Main article: VDARE</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin has been a contributor to VDARE, a website which flowed out of the best-selling book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster,[59] since 2002. The book and the website criticize USimmigration policy after 1965 from a conservative perspective.[60] Huffington Post and Daily Kos have referred to VDARE as controversial because of its alleged ties to white supremacist rhetoric and because of what they see as its support of scientific racism and white nationalism.[61]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Viewpoints[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Citizenship[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin believes that the custom of granting automatic citizenship at birth to U.S.–born children of foreign tourists, temporary foreign workers, and illegal aliens undermines the integrity of citizenship and national security. She argues that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, "originally intended to ensure the citizenship rights of newly freed slaves and their families after the Civil War, has evolved into a magnet for alien lawbreakers and a shield for terrorist infiltrators and enemy combatants".[62]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Immigration enforcement[edit]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin also opposes sanctuary cities, in which local authorities do not enforce all national immigration laws or coordinate with agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following the August 2007 execution-style murder of three college students in Newark, New Jersey, she repeated her criticisms of politicians' posture toward sanctuary cities. In particular, she criticized former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's proposal for a tamper-proof identification card with this comment:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"What Rudy-come-lately fails to comprehend is that there are already multiple alien tracking databases mandated by federal law that have yet to be fully implemented, integrated and used. The reason they don’t work is because open-borders interests have sabotaged them by restricting funding for them, objecting to them on civil liberties grounds, and pushing local and state governments to forbid public employees from checking them to verify citizenship status.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> In the face of a successful relay race of corporations dropping their membership with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a Fox News contributor has called for her own campaign against these same corporations. Michelle Malkin asked her readers in the Washington Examiner to not "do business with progressive appeasers" and to boycott businesses that have decided to sever their relationship with ALEC.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Malkin's call for action comes after a successful week of campaigning by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), Color of Change, Common Cause, People for the American Way, Progress Now, CREDO, and other groups, which have urged ALEC's corporate funders to quit the organization for its role in promoting reckless gun laws, voter suppression, and other radical proposals. So far, McDonalds, Kraft Foods, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Intuit, Wendy's, and the Gates Foundation have announced they would not continue their support for ALEC. In her piece, Malkin characterizes groups like Color of Change as a "minority community activist outfit" and Progress Now as a "a militant group backed by billionaire George Soros."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The recent storm of press about ALEC was prompted by the organization's support for Florida-style "Stand Your Ground" laws, which may be used as a defense by the shooter of 20-year old Trayvon Martin. While Malkin writes that it is, "simply wrong to try to score political points by taking advantage of a great tragedy like Trayvon Martin's death," Malkin was busy scoring her own political points when her website, Twitchy.com, posted a picture of a boy in his boxers holding up two middle fingers for the camera, falsely claiming that it was Trayvon. The site later acknowledged its mistake.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
