JJ Stambaugh is a journalist that I have known for a long time. He is one of the rare journalist that has always perfected the who, what, when, why and where.

What I do is what interest me with my background knowledge as part of it. I am more of a op-ed guy than a journalist.

Stambaugh and a few others have begun this new indie (independent) news site Hard Knox Wire.  Stambaugh has left his comfort zone and written this op-ed piece on Knox County Sheriff Tom “Spanky” Spangler.

Stambaugh raises questions that I hadn’t considered, when and what part of your oath can you pick and choose?

Anyway, check it and them out. There is enough independent news for us all to be happy and content.
