Is Abby Martin left or right?
Abby Martin is a journalist and documentary filmmaker on the anti-imperialist socialist left, well to the left of the Democratic Party mainstream, whose work centers on critiques of US foreign policy, the military, and corporate media. She hosted Breaking the Set on RT America from 2012 to 2015 — where she notably condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea on air — before leaving in February 2015 to launch The Empire Files, an interview and documentary series first hosted by teleSUR and now run as a donor-funded nonprofit with Mike Prysner. Her guests and collaborators come from the socialist and left-populist world (Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Jill Stein), and her films include Gaza Fights for Freedom (2019) and Earth's Greatest Enemy, a 2025 documentary on the US military's environmental footprint that she and Prysner released independently through Empire Files and continue to screen and distribute on demand. She describes her project explicitly as anti-imperialist media and is a critic of both major US parties on war and empire.
