The functional divide between the mainstream media and our publication has never been clearer. The corporate media profited from the rise of an autocrat, and in turn provided Trump with billions in free advertising. Now that Trump has seized power, the corporate media is already working to normalize him and his cohort, and will be all too happy to frame his antics as good television. As we enter this period of uncertainty, we can no longer afford to pretend that major news outlets have any capacity to serve the truth, or the interests of those marginalized by people like Trump.
