In February of 2003, Evan posted the video Protesting the Protesters to his website. The video featured street interviews at an anti-war protest in New York city. Although his site was fairly obscure at the time, Fox News Channel took notice, and within a day of his posting the video, it was featured on Special Report with Brit Hume. A day later, audio clips from the interviews were featured on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.

Evan Coyne Maloney is also involved with the movie Brainwashing 101, a documentary film purporting to show political bias on American university campuses. By the end of 2005, Indoctrinate U, the feature-length follow-up to Brainwashing 101 will be released.

Content in these films evoked controversy. Maloney has been accused of lying to subjects about the nature of his films to get people to speak on camera, and of selectively editing subjects' statements in misleading ways. His willingness to play fast and loose with the truth makes it likely that his work will have limited impact beyond the extreme right wing in the U.S.
