Deep dives
Corporate Media Coverage of Election
The corporate media's focus on framing the upcoming election as a rematch between Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden is criticized for oversimplifying the stakes. Instead of highlighting the critical choice between democracy and fascism, the media often reduces the coverage to a horse race narrative, failing to address the true risks at hand. The Republican Party's alignment with Trump's dangerous rhetoric and actions is emphasized, underscoring the urgency of addressing the broader threat of 'Trumpism' beyond just individual candidates.
