i admit i've listened to like 2 episodes of Good Faith (e: that wasn't a joke, i genuinely forgot the name of the podcast), but i don't know where the expectation on this site comes from that Brie's, like, an idiot or a bad communicator or a cryptoreactionary or whatever, based solely on the fact that she's talking to people who suck. i know most left podcasts are recorded with audible bong bubbling noises, but there are ways to conduct interviews that aren't just passively nodding along.
I agree that she's not at all incompetent or actually really bad faith. Sometimes her interview style is actually pretty conducive to a good conversation, too.
I have criticisms, but to avoid getting into that before I make my point: my previous comment probably came off wrong. I more properly meant that that sample was better than what I expected from this interview, and that it was because of Bri pushing for a specific example. Now I wish she repeated that, but yeah.
I've listened to a lot of Bad Faith, but I mostly stopped caring after the Norman Finkelstein interview where she kept pressing him on how him not liking Obama wasn't a winning strategy for voters and he kept trying to say that he didn't give a shit, Obama sucked, and also that's not the point.
Because a lot of people on here think “interview = platforming (bad)”
When it’s a podcast from people who were not household names interviewing someone who was given an op-Ed spot in the biggest newspaper in America.
Platforming Would be a Joe Rogan style interview.
I am honestly getting annoyed with the number of posts on this site that actually would fit the mold of “reactionary left”. Like basically most of the comments on this post are attacking Bad Faith for trying to dig in on the new libertarian grifter.
Yeah I guarantee this is “I wanted to be an asshole to people but no one wanted to be my friend because of it. This is the lefts fault”
Edit ok no looked it up she’s an intern at FIRE, an org that was founded by a libertarianism weirdo who argued it was unconstitutional to expel a student from Pen who secretly and without permissions filmed 2 other students having sex to use as blackmail.
That girls whole existence is some kind of weird culture War Operation and she sucks at it. What a pathetic existence.
When pressed about self censorship she goes quiet, like she can’t even pretend that she has more substance than wanting to use slurs.

The clip is hilarious.
“Are you sure it’s not just trying to be rude?”
And the girl won’t say what she can’t say.
Bit better from Bri than I expected to be honest.

Fuck her. Fuck that org. Fuck it all

Because she probably didn’t even write that article or even beleives in that crap.
The interviewee looks like Fem Shapiro
