Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Beyond the Spectacle’s mission?
Beyond the Spectacle was founded on a simple premise: in an age of political theater and media spectacle, citizens need analysis that examines the substance behind the show.
We analyze governance patterns, leadership decisions, and institutional health with a commitment to factual accuracy and democratic values. Our goal is to help readers understand the deeper implications of political events that are often obscured by personality-driven coverage and partisan narratives.
Who is behind Beyond the Spectacle?
Beyond the Spectacle is led by Morgan Treadwell and Taylor Veritatis, independent analysts with backgrounds in political science, institutional analysis, and investigative journalism. We maintain our independence from political parties and special interests to ensure our analysis remains focused on governance quality and democratic health rather than partisan advantage.
We believe that a functioning democracy requires citizens to understand how leadership decisions affect institutions, international relationships, and civic norms. Our work aims to contribute to this understanding by providing context, historical perspective, and evidence-based analysis.
Is Beyond the Spectacle partisan?
We are not affiliated with any political party. Our analysis is guided by a commitment to democratic institutions, evidence-based governance, and historical perspective rather than partisan advantage. We apply the same analytical standards to leaders across the political spectrum.
How is Beyond the Spectacle funded?
Beyond the Spectacle is currently self-funded to maintain complete editorial independence. We may introduce a subscription model or accept reader contributions in the future, but we will never accept funding that compromises our analytical independence.
