There are an increasing number of news outlets that are offering a more extensive and accurate coverage of the events happening around us, not just in the US but the rest of the world. The mass media in the US is the most censored and controlled in the western democracies. Breakthrough news is one of the outlets that allows us to get a somewhat more accurate picture of what is happening. The Internet, like most technology, is not a bad thing; as with all technological advances from the printing press to the computer chip, it depends on how it's used which is also dependent on which class owns it.
Along with the two people mentioned in the headline, there are others like Chelsea Manning and Pat Tillman. This blog never fails every year to mention another military hero, Pat Tillman, murdered, many people believe, by his own government. He refused to be used by the state to drag young working class people in to a war that they had no interest in fighting. See The Tillman Story about the events surrounding his death and the struggles his family went through to get the truth.
