A major U.S. newspaper with insider financial ties to local politicians now is doxxing critics of the city's crime agenda – or lack thereof.
It is the Federalist that has published a report exposing the suspect activities of the Denver Post.
It has targeted – and exposed the names, home addresses and more – of those participating in an organization that sought to review public records about crime in the infested city.
The report charged that the Post even published employment information about "three private citizens who legally obtained public information" that later appeared in the social media account called Do Better Denver.
"The Post identified the three people it doxxed by doing a public records request for those women's public records requests," the report explained.
It was "crime reporter Shelly Bradbury" who named names in her recent article.
From Do Better Denver was the comment, "I have been informed that the Mayor's office were the ones that looked at all the CORA requests over the last two years and tried to figure out who I am based on CORA requests and my posts (based on who was requesting them). The Mayor's office narrowed it down to three names and FED the story to the @denverpost and told their contact at the Post to CORA the CORA requests in hopes of outing me and getting the media and my followers to turn on me. The Mayor's office said that @mikejohnstonco wants DoBetterDNVR gone because 'I am ruining his narrative'. Is it legal for government officials to try and silence me via doxxing? Or engaging the Denver Post to do so? #Yikes #IsThisLegal #DoBetterDNVR."
The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway said:
And Do Better Denver responded:
It also noted Denver's "body count" is on the rise, again:
Jill Osa, one of those named, said Bradbury "doxxed me and two others" but "indefensibly" failed to tell the real story:
Further, Bradbury engaged in "bad, unethical journalism," the social media statement charges.
Interestingly, the city, with hundreds of millions of dollars in budget deficits, is laying off staff that grew by 4,000 individuals receiving paychecks over recent years under Democrat administration.
Colorado also is a Democrat stronghold, with a Democrat governor, majority-Democrat Senate and House, and an all-Democrat state Supreme Court that wildly assumed it could order President Donald Trump off the 2024 election ballot before being scolded by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The report noted the city "has a $44 million rental contract from 2024 through 2029 with the Denver Post's parent company … and in 2024 approved an $89 million contract to go into debt to purchase the same former Denver Post building."
Do Better Denver charges the city sought the newspaper's participation in the doxxing because officials were "angry about public disclosures of their activities."
"One public record one of the women discovered, for example, showed the city paid $2.1 million for vacant rooms for illegal immigrants," the report said.
No comment from a spokesman for Mayor Mike Johnston.
The Post claimed the government "played no role" in the newspaper's agenda against the Do Better Denver individuals.
An administrator for Do Better Denver confirmed in the report it gets death threats "for posting public records about people with criminal records that include kidnapping, battery, and work for terrorist gangs such as Tren de Aragua."
The Post confirmed the mayor's office ordered police to stop r0esponding to public records requests from Do Better Denver, and the staff in the mayor's office switched in an app that automatically deletes messages.
The DBD's accounts on social media have addressed problems in the city with indecency, vagrancy, crime, and its accounts are followed by 150,000 people.
"The accounts criticize public officials for sanctuary city policies inviting gang activity, releasing violent criminals on low bonds, and otherwise enabling public disorder. Denver has sued the Trump administration for opposing such policies," the report said.
It was the Post's recent doxxing that said it knew the names of some of those who supply DBD with information: "Arizona resident Jill Osa, Denver resident Megan Anderson and New Mexico resident Alexandra Pacheco."
Osa explained, "I'm just an average citizen who wanted answers and wasn't getting them when she went to her elected officials."
On the website has been criticism of the city's pro-illegal alien agenda, and voters are soon going to be asked to raise their own taxes by $1 billion for "affordable housing."
Bradbury claimed the site provides "misinformation" and she was backed up by the leftist Poynter Institute, which runs "one of the most notorious mass censorship organizations, the egregiously politicized Politifact," the Federalist confirmed.
