was named one of the "10 Best Documentary Films of 2004" by the Liberty Film Festival, and John Fund of The Wall Street Journal reported that it was "the clear favorite of festival attendees" at the American Film Renaissance. Browning, founder of Embarcadero Technologies, "suggested that he make a full-length feature about the tyranny of political correctness and affirmative action on campuses." Browning gave him $250,000 to make the film that became "Brainwashing 101", which examines the political environments on three college campuses: Bucknell University, the University of Tennessee, and California Polytechnic.

And a critic for the Hollywood Web site Ain't It Cool News said that the film, in its first cut, was one of the most "horrifying and hysterical documentaries I have ever seen." One reviewer commented: "Maloney tells the truth when he says the academic world is run by intolerant leftist ideologues, who try to stamp out dissent while proclaiming themselves the apostles of 'diversity.' The film is fast-paced, easy to watch, and done in a
