Is Bad Faith left or right?
Bad Faith is the podcast of Briahna Joy Gray, Bernie Sanders' 2020 national press secretary, and it sits on the anti-establishment left: democratic-socialist-adjacent, sharply critical of the Democratic Party leadership from the left, and strongly critical of Israel and US foreign policy. Gray co-hosted The Hill's Rising from 2022 until June 2024, when she was fired days after a contentious on-air interview with the sister of an Israeli hostage held by Hamas; she said the firing showed a pattern of suppressing speech critical of Israel. Since then Bad Faith has been her fully independent platform, and it remains active through 2026 with episodes on left media strategy, anti-imperialist foreign policy, and intra-left debates — including criticism of what a recent episode called "the compatible left," leftists she views as too accommodating of the establishment. The show's stance is best read as left-populist and movement-left rather than mainstream Democratic.
