“For if men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent, we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”
George Washington’s address to the officers of the army, March 15, 1783

To connect the local dots, JSNE relies on hand-selected local, national, and international journalists as well as subject-matter experts and watchdog investigators.
For decades, America’s conservative oligarchs and corporations have labeled the Free Press as “the enemy of the American people.” This theme is reiterated hourly by Donald Trump and his MAGA followers. In his second term, Trump and his hand-selected tribe are out to destroy institutions, including the Free Press.
Fortunately, as democracy’s heart and soul, the best journalists and media organizations have chosen to confront modern-day critics like Trump directly. Instead of adhering to “objective” coverage, they openly challenge Trumpism and corporate influence as threats to democracy. They have drawn essential lessons from historical periods when the press failed to stand up to figures like Hitler and Mussolini.
The advent of the Internet has transformed the landscape of the Free Press. Today, many skilled journalists and writers are drawn to independent, mission-driven platforms. They are moving away from the unpredictable nature of corporate media and favor online podcasts, newsletters, YouTube, and TikTok.
JSNE’s chosen journalists are truthful, trustworthy, and committed to covering Trumpistan, right-wing ideologies, and extremists. They are highly regarded for extraordinary diligence and courage in calling out ideology and extremism.
Local Journalism – Undaunted Courage
The Best of Colorado’s Journalists. JSNE relies on a select group of esteemed local journalists and media. These near-by professionals bring many years of reporting experience and editorial insight, consistently producing content directly related to the DougCo Cabal. They also welcome inputs and news leads from the JSNE community. Most are affiliated with more nimble independent agencies, allowing for a straightforward and uncensored style of journalism. Most importantly, they demonstrate unwavering courage, facing insults, physical threats, and harassment with grace.


Independent Networks and Journalists Offer Alternatives to Corporate Media
JSNE generates the DougCo story by connecting relevant facts across the local, state, national, and international milieu. That’s because outsiders primarily influence the local Cabal. JSNE relies on news, commentaries, and investigations offered by a selected set of independent networks and journalists. Independent journalism provides unique advantages for both the public and for individual reporters by operating outside the constraints of government or corporate influence.
These media and journalists have large followings – their content is well-researched and forward-looking.
Contemporary Subject Experts
JSNE has adopted a group of closely followed investigative journalists, academics, and subject-matter experts operating at both national and global levels.
Often dedicating their careers to uncovering and developing deeper stories, these renowned experts consistently identify the often-overlooked connections, foundations, and less obvious facts.
They shape and provide a clearer understanding of the ideologies, nefarious players and organizations behind today’s right-wing politics and culture wars, and facilitate connections with developments in Colorado and Douglas County.

Watchdogs Dig Deep
Public watchdogs provide immense value by serving as independent guardians that monitor, scrutinize, and hold powerful institutions accountable to the public interest. They primarily function to prevent the abuse of power, ensure transparency, and protect the rights of citizens.
Public watchdogs are often considered the “Fourth Estate,” providing the necessary checks and balances for a healthy democracy.
While their work is often adversarial, effective watchdogging can actually foster long-term public trust.


National and International Sources
JSNE monitors world-class journalism, ensuring unmatched quality and consistency in content.
They represent the pinnacle of journalism—the journalists of record.
Over the past decade, these journalists have provided global coverage of critical issues affecting Colorado and Douglas County, including Trumpism, militant ideological politicians, radical evangelicals, and the influence of dark money. Essentially, JSNE depends on their unwavering focus to uncover and connect right-wing corruption and ideologues.
