Regarding The O'Reilly Factor - 07.05.07
As many of you know, today I was given the chance to appear on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor." Being a big fan of the show, I jumped at the opportunity to defend myself on O'Reilly's generally excellent program. However, filling in for O'Reilly today was his unimpressive substitute, Michelle Malkin.

When Malkin opened the interview I was polite, curtious, and told her right off the bat that I was pleased to be on the show since I was a huge fan. She immediately made a sarcastic "sniff" remark and began berating me. She hardly let me get a word in edgewise, and for no reason at all, resorted to calling me a "loser." Keep in mind that this woman does not know me, and has never talked to me before. The sole intent of the interview was for me to detail my business and discuss how it operates. Yet, Malkin felt the need to disparage me, my career, and my model and current love interest.

Fair and balanced? I think not. Malkin intended on belittling me on national television, but her childish excuse for an interview backfired in her face as I refused to take it lying down and shot back at her. The result of her out-of-line remarks is a massive outpouring of support for both me and my business., I've been pleasantly surprised to find my e-mail full of amazing letters from people all around the country who are showing me their support. To all of you who have written me, I offer you a huge thanks and a debt of gratitude. Below are just a mere handful of the numerous e-mails I've received. Malkin's immature behavior did not go unnoticed and thanks to fans speaking out, perhaps Fox News will do the right thing and do something about her actions.

Doug,

My name is Tony and me and my wife just watched you o the OReilly Factor and I cant believe how RUDE Michelle was but it is not out of place for her and I loved you flipping her the bird at the end of the segment. She is a rude woman and I am so suprised that Bill lets her host when he is away because she is NOT like bill. I dont think that bill would of been rude and he would of let you speak your point. I say this because I always watch the Factor and I am also a Photographer who shoots nude women. My wife is my main model and I DONT feel that anything that we are doing is wrong. Legal consenting adults doing what they want. Michelle forgot "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION" Also loved the mock photo of her on your site, I would of photoshopped it and made it very rude, but thats ok you made your point and made me laugh.

Hi there, I don't want a job, I'm a guy after all. This was the only address I saw on the dougmarkwith.com site though so I am using it, you see?

I just saw Doug on the O'Reilly factor with Malkin (7/5/2007), not sure if it's a repeat or if it was live. Anyway, my politics are pretty conservative, on government anyhow, though I'm more socially libertarian, and I wanted to say I thought Malkin was really out of line by calling Doug a 'loser.'

The more I see the Malkin broad, the less I like her. I don't know if she's just trying to be Ann Coulter light or what, but her rudeness and judgemental attitude really rubs me the wrong way. She just comes off as a XXXXX if you ask me.

From the girls I saw on your homepage, none look to be underage or intended to look that way. They look like what you'd see on any typical adult site. Hey, it's totally legal and I don't have any problem with it at all. Maybe Michelle would prefer seeing women in burkas, something she's also made strong statements against.

So yeah, Doug seemed like a nice guy on the show and Malkin was a rude XXXXX! I was glad Doug gave her the bird at the end, she totally deserved it and it made me laugh!

Happy Summer,

GW

I am an avid O'reilly factor fan and a conservative. I USED to like Michelle Malkin. You were treated unfairly and there is no excuse for it. I will no longer watch the O'reilly factor when Michelle is hosting. Her behavior was appalling and inexcuseable. I know nothing of your work nor of you. I simply watch the factor evry night and was shocked to see Michelle behave that way. She lost a fan and you have gained one. Don't judge O'reilly or his fans based on her behavior. I do not know O'reilly but based upon what I have seen I am certain that had he been hosting he would not have treated you two so poorly. I will send e-mails to Fox news and Bill O'reilly expressing the same thing. Very nice photography by the way, although it is not the photography that is most appealing!

Doug I don't see you doing anything wrong especially since these lovely ladies are sending you the pics. Why didn't Michelle malkin call Hugh Hefner sleazy or whatever word she used for you. I think you are also a very lucky guy to have a pretty girlfriend and a job most guys would kill for. I hope you the best. Brian
---------------------------------------
I just saw your interview with Michelle Malkin. What a rude XXXXX! I would have been a lot tougher with her. Just because she disagrees with what you do doesn't give her the right to act like a jerk. Just thought I'd give you my two cents worth. The picture of her on your website does look it was doctored up. :)

Hey Douglas,

just saw you with that XXXXX Michelle Malkin on Fox News. I would NOT have done the fuck you sign at the end. She was not worth even that response. Michelle was rude to you and your girlfriend.

Anyway, you got free publicity and, you have quality people like me thinking you are a GREAT guy!

hey man i live in arizona too
i watched the oreilly factor july 5th about your website.
i sent an email to the oreilly email address, read this.

im a big fan of the show, i watch it daily and am currently reading culture warrior. i support most of what you stand for which is why i watch the show daily. while watching july 5th when michelle was covering i got a completely different opinion. When michelle was interviewing doug markwith and his girlfriend about the internet site, michelle was a straight up bitch. she made a few comments towards him that were way out of manner.
not sure of the exact words but this is what i got
doug: "im a fan of the show, its just too bad im here on these terms"
michelle: "sniff.." <---wow, grow up he just complimented your program

michelle to doug's girlfriend: "why are you dating this loser?" <---- his website has broken no law, keep your irrational, pitiful remarks to yourself if you're just going to flame him.

michelle: im not going to say thank you, so goodbye. <----- need i explain?
---------------------------------------
I emailed the speakout section, as well as Bill...didn't blast them, but said Michelle wasn't very fair with the interview, and biased as hell....and I stood up for Doug and his sites, old ones and new...
---------------------------------------
Mr. Markwith,

I just got done watching your interview with Michelle Malkin on the O'Reilly Factor. Like you, I'm a huge O'Reilly Factor fan and even a fan of Ms. Malkin. That aside I can't believe how she treated you. Bill would NEVER had treated you that pourly. I'm guessing it's a feminist thing because she rips women like Paris Hilton and other females known more for something other than their brains all the time. Now I must be honest I'm not familiar with what it is you do but I'm guessing you're right about doing what Hugh Hefner does on a much smaller scale. How could I find out more about what it is you do and also what's the story about the pictures of Ms. Malkin that got her so upset. Aside from that birdie at the end, way to hang in there.

Ohhhhhhhh man. That was the best thing I've seen on the O'Reily Factor ever. And I enjoyed how you flipped them off right at the end hahahaha
---------------------------------------
So I just watched this interview 2 minutes ago. Did this woman have the biggest XXXXX stick up her ass? Obviously she has walked in on her boyfriend/husband wacking off to teen porn before. I almost lost it went she was like :sniff: I would have started throwing things.... Maybe that is why I don't get interviewed.
---------------------------------------
Doug... that was unfortunate man, Malkin is a joke. I think it'll be fun to educate the internet on her hypocrisy. Stupid XXXXX.
---------------------------------------
i just heard about you on the internet today. i watched that clip with you and that news reported michelle. shes a bitch! LoL. i would just like to let you know that i do not think that what your doing is wrong. if this what makes you happy and makes money for you then so be it. people should judt mind there own damn business. theres playboy out there...porn..all that stuff and no one seems to do nothing about that. i dont understand why they target you.i just went on your website just now and the girls on there look older. in there 20's. and they are very beautiful. i am not applying for a job. shit if i had the looks i prolly would! LoL. but i just wanted you to know that you have my support.

Love, Tori

Hey Doug,

I don?t see how she can accuse you of being sleazy and appealing to a male audience when she tried to do the same thing in a cheerleading outfit (WARNING! Be prepared to lose all of your cheerleader fantasies, I know I did!):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt_YcQlYxyY

I'm Asian and we Asians see her as our uncle tom. She defends Japanese concentration camps. Enough said. Big ups to you and your site and I hope you do well in your business.

Dear Mr. Markwith,
I'm not looking for a job, since as a 50-year-old male I'm more like a potential customer. I heard about you and your site on the O'Reilly Factor, which I saw on AlterNet. I feel compelled to write because I found Malkin's treatment of you as complete out of line, to say the least. It is so ironic that Fox "News," the embodiment of sleaze, should find what you're doing offensive. For the record, I think your photos are great.

I just want you to know, I guess to help you feel vindicated, that Fox actually advertised you. You'll probably gain even more hits. As for Malkin, she is so disgusting.

Sincerely,
Dimitris Siountris (Athens, Greece)

Doug,

Well done man!! Just saw the clip on youtube.com. Giving her the bird at the end was classic !! Freedom of expression at its best.

Cheers.
Doug

Hi Doug,

I was rather surprised to see how unbalanced the report was (Thought it was supposed to be fair and balanced) on your appearance. She was rather rude and unfortunate for you and your girlfriend put on the spot. Regardless, it will bring listeners to the site. I checked it out and didn’t see anything of what she was trying to even paint. I think your College Age definition put it into perspective.

On a side not though, the freedom of expression is another reason we live here however It would be great if you offered your site in a splash screen so that visitors didn’t see the nudity right away. Just to protect any young visitors. Just a thought

Best wishes,

Andy Taylor

Doug,

After watching the segment on FOX I am disgusted by Michelle's behavior and comments. I sent her a message on YouTube but it doesn't appear she has even read it yet. I can't believe she said, "Stacy why are you dating this loser" among other things. I feel she is way out of line and completely unprofessional. Did she send you a C&D? I noticed you removed the pic of her, I think that was a classic move personally. I support what you do for work and what you stand for as do a lot of people in the industry. I think you did a great job standing up for what you believe in and representing yourself in the interview. Keep up the great work Doug!

Much Respect,

Jason

Dear Mr. Markwith,

After watching your appearance the O'Reilly Factor, I thought it would be appropriate to e-mail Michelle Malkin. I've included the e-mail I sent to her. If you do decide to include it on your website (which I doubt you will), please remove my name as I would prefer to remain anonymous.

While I don't condone your line of work, or your reaction in the last few seconds of the show, I support your right to freedom of expression.

Best regards,

"Dear Ms. Malkin

I recently caught your sit-in for Bill O'Reilly on the O'Reilly Factor in which you interviewed Doug Markwith, owner of http://www.dougmarkwith.com.

While I strongly object to both with his line of work and your interviewing style, I realize that this is the O'Reilly Factor and you are bound to a certain form of non-objective "journalism". I was nonetheless very interested in the topic which you so eloquently "debated" and figured the following:

What Doug Markwith is doing may be, in your own words, "skeezy", but what
you are doing is fundamentally "Unamerican".

Although we both disagree with this line of work, Doug Markwith's website is protected by Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791 of the United States Constitution. So while Doug Markwith may be violating the laws of good taste and decency, your attempts at censorship are a basic violation of his constitutionally guaranteed rights. We may disagree with him, but it is our duty, as Americans, to protect and uphold his freedoms.

I look forward to hearing back from you soon,

Sorry to clog this email, I couldn't find another one.
I watched your appearance on on Fox just now, and I can tell you the interview was bullXXXX from the start. The segment on you was a classic "poisoning of the well", and the interview's purpose was not to give you a chance to defend yourself, but to shove their biased reporting down even further. As Snoop Dogg once stated, XXXXX Bill O'Riley.
I fully support your production of quality photography.

Doug,

Congratulations on your excellent interview with Michelle Malkin... she's looked as stupid as I've ever seen her. It is amazing that somebody as smart and smooth as O'Reilly would have her sit in for him. She did look good in the photo you posted however, but that was a long time ago and otherwise I see no use for her at all. Your models all look great and your girlfriend should have been treated much nicer during the interview.

By the way, I am a career Navy officer with nearly 30 years of service and throughout my travels around the world I have never seen two girls as sexy as Carmen and Lizzie. The are about as sexy as any women have ever been and I thank you for posting their pictures.

Eric

I have no interest in your website, but I had to come here just to let you know that seeing you flip off Michelle Malkin was the HIGH POINT of my day!!! You gave her EXACTLY what she deserved and I hope other guests on her show are now inspired to do the same!

Jeff

Hi Doug,

I am a fan of The O'Reilly Factor and watch it with my wife everyday. I was appalled at the way Michelle treated you. She has had this same attitude with others. Her rudeness towards you was totally unfair and despicable. Some where in the past I was a fan of hers but she has over time destroyed that. I don't know why she sits in for Bill. I feel good to tell people that I watch Bill O'Reilly but I would be embarrassed to tell anyone I watch Michelle Malkin. You were a gentleman.. she was the loser.

Sincerely,

Jerry
