Opinion of Abby Martin

[justfollowingtheelections]

One of the greatest American journalists IMO.

Never heard of her. But she works for RT so I assumes she's a HP.

Seriously?  So you know nothing about her but you call her an HP whatever the hell that means?  Martin despite working for RT has actually opposed Russia's invasion of Crimea.

HP = "horrible person."

I didn't realize that she was that anchor who denounced the Crimean invasion live on RT, so that's pretty cool. But apparently she's also a 9/11 truther sooo...

Yeah I know what HP stands for.  I just think it's a stupid expression.  No she's not a truther (although she was once).

I have to say I'm really surprised by how little this forum knows about real American journalists.  I remember when I created polls for other journalists I admire such as Amy Goodman or Jeremy Scahill the reaction was quite similar.  It's rather disheartening.

Then tell us why you like her and why she's one of the greats of American journalism.

I mean, everything I know about her I've learned from googling for the past 15 minutes, but I feel like comparing her to actual investigative reporters like Goodman and Scahill is a little silly. She comes off as an especially (and gratingly) smug left-wing Glenn Beck/Alex Jones to me.
