2:16Now PlayingGeorge Floyd. Ahmaud Arbery. Anytime Black people are killed by racist police, the media searches for any history of the smallest wrongdoing to assassinate their character and shift blame from the killer to the victim. It’s a tactic as old as lynching itself.
Mike Brown, Sandra Bland, and many other victims of police brutality had their images dragged through the mud in the mainstream media coverage.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
