Background
Malkin is the daughter of Filipino American parents Dr. Apolo and Rafaela Maglalang. She grew up in Absecon, New Jersey and graduated from Oberlin College. She is married to Rhodes Scholar and economist Jesse Malkin with whom she has two children. Jesse has chosen to be a stay at home father.


Career
She began her journalism career at the Los Angeles Daily News in 1992 and moved to The Seattle Times in 1996 before becoming a nationally syndicated columnist.

Malkin's column, syndicated by Creators Syndicate, appears in over 200 newspapers nationwide as of 2005. She is also a frequent commentator for FOX News Channel and occasional contributor to the VDARE.com editorial collective. In June 2004 she launched a political blog which quickly became highly popular and successful weblog, at most times residing among the top five conservative political blogs <1><2><3>.

Her first book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces, was published by Regnery Publishing in 2002 and was a New York Times bestseller. In 2004 she wrote a book entitled In Defense of Internment, defending Japanese American internment by the United States Government in the West Coast during World War II and relating this theme to the contemporary War on Terrorism. The book drew heavy criticism across the political spectrum, including an (unsuccesful) attempt to ban the book from the Manzanar relocation center national park <4>. A group of university professors banded together under the name 'The Historians' Committee for Fairness' and condemned the book for failing to meet peer review standards and containing a central thesis which did not stand up to scrutiny. Malkin has stood by her position and continues to post on the topic. <5> Malkin's latest book, Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild was released in October, 2005.

Michelle's blog occassionally contains original investigative reports, most notably the recent investigations into the financial activities of Air America Radio and the involvement of some of its founders and on-air personalities, including Evan Montvel Cohen and Al Franken. She is frequently used as an example of the blurred line between bloggers and reporters, given such investigations and her widely distributed columns and appearances on multiple media outlets. After the announced arrest of alleged spy, Leandro Aragoncillo, Michelle writes on her website, "If it means now that the White House will be applying extra scrutiny to naturalized Americans of Filipino descent working at the top levels of government and in the military, well, yes, I support that. It's obviously overdue."

Malkin has recently criticised the media's treatment of missing people and referred to this phenomenon as "Missing Pretty Girl Syndrome" or "Damsel in Distress" Syndrome. <6>


Beliefs and controversies
Columnist and blogger Andrew Sullivan was accused by Malkin and several other bloggers of making bogus fund-raising claims. Shortly thereafter, Sullivan created a parody Malkin Award for "cliché-ridden writing from the left and right intended to insult."<7>

Malkin occassionally posts hate mail she received, which often consists of racist or sexist epithets.<8>. According to Malkin, she has been labelled an "Aunt Thomasina and a sellout and a race traitor" by Asian-American liberals. Critics have also referred to her as "an Asian Ann Coulter," to which Malkin has responded "I'm not Asian, I'm American, for goodness sake. I would take the comparison to Ann Coulter as somewhat of a compliment. I have a lot of respect for Ann Coulter." <9> Others have accused her of 'bleaching her skin',etc.

In November of 2004, the Norfolk, Virginia-based Virginian-Pilot ceased running Malkin's nationally syndicated column. Fellow columnist Bronwyn Lance Chester explained, “I think habitually mistakes shrill for thought provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion…She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”

1. Are her parents US born or Philippine Immigrants ?....

Would these be the "Foreign Menaces" she's talking about?

[Faygo Kid]

2. Worse Fascist than Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity

She knows she has to go one level beyond to make the big right wing bucks. She is a total, unredeemable fascist. Put us in the camps, that's what she wants to do. And then torture me in her tiny leather outfit with fishnet stockings with six inch heels and a leather bustier. OK, I am going to bed now.

[UndergroundRadical]

15. Sounds like somebody is letting their hotass conservative girl fantasy....

spring up to the surface. ;) lol I'll admit, I wouldn't mind spanking this little Nazi angel. As for Man Coulter, I think I can do without.

[renie408]

3. I hate people like Malkin worse than I hate people like Cheney

She is worse than any of them. She and all the other media whores like her.

[Mel]

4. Hey C-Span this is Crap!

Randi Rhodes had to share the hour with Church Lady and Michelle the hate head has a full hour to spew her Crap. :nuke:


I call BS on this one and if anyone gets through tomorrow will you bring this point up, please.
I'm sick of people from the SANE side having to share their hour with a hate head or the hate head getting the full hour.
Yep, it's a normal day in the neighborhood it's 'Fascist Friday' on the Span.

5. it makes me sad :(

It makes me said that a fellow asian can be so naive :(.

[renie408]

7. Who is 'naive'?? Michelle Malkin???

You know, I just don't think so. Anyone who would make it their life's work to defend the interment of Japanese Americans during WWII is evil, not naive.

[CottonBear]

6. Say it ain't so paineinthearse. Argh! Friday Fascist CSAPN!

BTW, us CSPAN junkies have named CSAPN Saturday WJ 'SS Saturday.'

I have never gotten through on the phone lines. Mr CB did years ago. Any suggestions?

[paineinthearse]

11. Thanks! I'll do that! I can have coffee, e-mail question & go to work!

:) Did I mention that Malkin really disgusts me. :(

[zulchzulu]

8. I suggest someone call up as a Freeperzoid say this...

"Hi, I just love you Michelle. You Orientals sure are smart. And even though I dun't trust ya for what you done in World War II, it's nice seeing a nice gal like you on the tayvay. You gwoin' out wit' anaybody? You sure are cute.... (heavy breathing....) Anyway, wha don't lib-lib-liberals not love America and what should I do to my neighbot's car that still has a Kerry sticker on it?"

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Sorry, I can't deal with Ho Chi Malkin at that hour of the morning.

GAAAAKKKKKK.

[paineinthearse]

12. Please keep this kicked overnight, so the early birds can call CSPAMMMM

...he'll be waiting, don't disappoint DU'ers.

[leetrisck]

13. She loses her cool easily and gets very shrill

when anyone questions her ridiculous remarks & books. She's really just plain silly. If you get thru, make her sound ridiculous - she can't stand it and will go nuts.

[paineinthearse]

14. So, how did it go?

Did anyone get through on the phone lines?

Anyone's comments submitted by website get read on air?

[paineinthearse]

16. Just as I suspected

Maybe everyone was cross-stitching.

[donsu]

17. I watched her this morning and was . . . bored. same old, same old

Lamb was quite taken with her

[paineinthearse]

18. Were all the calls from fawning freepers?

ewwww the mental image....

[donsu]

19. no, callers on both sides were rather mild

watchers probably went and did something else while she was on. I listened with one ear as I crocheted the last row on a pineapple tablecloth. that was far more interesting.
