I know Abby Martin is probably a controversial person who has some biases but I don't see how this documentary should be a controversial one. Unless she's had some anti-Semitic opinions/stances that I'm unaware of.
Nothing I've seen points to her being anti-Semitic at all which is why I said this documentary cannot be considered biased in any way.
For the other controversy/biases, I was mostly going by the wikipedia page which said she has/had some opinions on 9/11, flouride in water etc. and I can understand why someone with past ties to RT, Telesur could be considered a biased source when reporting on Russia, Venezuela etc. And the wikipedia article is considered disputed so there could be stuff that isn't mentioned there.
Edit - I just wanted to be cautious when I saw the RT connection in case there was/is some controversy like Maupin and his transphobia.
All dissident reporters have to deal with RT or similar things. No publication or reporter is without biases, but no anti-Western sentiment will be found in Western publications, so RT has a role. Wikipedia is one of these Western publications and often mentions as quickly as possible whether someone writes for RT or not.
She's also a psychedelic artist, which is the best kind of artist

She went on the Jimmy Dore show after the US made it impossible to work for Telesur. I think she's just trying to survive in an environment that is often exceptionally hostile to her point of view.
What is wrong with thinking that the US government was complict with 9/11? It's literally the best thing that ever happened to them and was carried out by a group that bad previously been funded by them and was also funded by them after.
