If you turn on the news, it would seem like there’s an army of blurry faces harassing racialized people across Canada.
Actually, establishment media outlets blur the faces of people engaging in racist acts on the regular—and almost never explain why they’re doing it.
Desmond Cole explains why the practice of covering up racism isn’t just bad journalism, but a gift to white supremacy.
The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.

Thank you for opening my eyes. I watch mainstream media, but as a white person, was not conscious of (unconscious?) collusion by the media.
