Big Picture Interview: Ann Marie Benitez, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health/AllAboveAll. With Donald Trump's inauguration just under two weeks away - reproductive groups are gearing up for a big fight to protect abortion access. Are Republicans playing with fire by pushing for a repeal of Roe v. Wade?

The Big Picture Progressive Panel - Zaid Jilani, The Intercept & Lynn Stuart Parramore, Freelance Journalist. Corporate media handed Donald Trump between $2 and $3 billion in free coverage, making him president, just to jack up their ratings, is the biggest story of the year, perhaps even the biggest story of our lifetimes. The directors and managers and producers of a small handful of immensely powerful and profitable media corporations made the decision, in 2015, that The Donald Trump show was more important to put on TV every day and night than any actual news. And why did they do this? They did this because The Donald Trump Show brings ratings, and ratings determine their profitability. This sick, symbiotic relationship won Trump the White House, and it's what will keep his presidency afloat long after it reaches its past due date. Oh yeah, and if you're expecting some kind of mea culpa from the mainstream media for installing Trump, then good luck. That would mean that mainstream corporate television media would have to admit that its primary goal is to make money, not keep people informed about what really matters. Not going to happen. So, can America survive the Donald Trump/Corporate Media industrial complex?
