Founded in 2020 by Tim Hoiles, The Maverick Observer is a start-up news source for Colorado Springs, El Paso County and Colorado. Sprung from a deep history in media, we not only discuss politics, but we also have a passion for food, drinks, business, and views. Commercial media interests, conflicts of interest in ownership and the pursuit of ratings and readership have distorted our news. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and are committed to conflict-of-interest-free news. We may take a perspective, but we will never ignore, cancel, or omit the other side. We hope you find our information useful, enlightening, and entertaining. Who does not need a good belly laugh occasionally? Come engage with us on all the topics of the day, whether they are the hottest tacos or the latest decisions of the Colorado Springs City Council and the mayor. Our mission is to educate, inform, engage, stimulate, and connect with our readers, while striving to preserve our honesty and integrity with dignity and honor. We are all best suited when we form our own opinions, assume responsibility for our own actions, and engage in our own passions. Our vision is community engagement and voicing differing opinions within a standard of tolerance. The Maverick Observer is devoted to our liberty and freedoms as a Fourth Estate news entity, the watchdog over government and business. We believe in the principles outlined by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the rights of all Americans as framed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our liberty and individual freedoms are what allow the diversity of thought which has been the bedrock of social, political, and commercial innovations making our world a better place for us all.
