Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Computer games are no stranger to controversy, but the release of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 must surely take the vilest of poor-taste awards.
To publicise it, a bright PR spark has had the idea to send a group of computer-game hacks to Serbia... for a three-day sniper course. Yes, Serbia, in the former republic of Yugoslavia, where 20 years ago at least 140,00 people, including many civilians killed by snipers during the bloody siege of Sarajevo, died.
Er, any alarm bells ringing here, guys? Apparently not, as the trip involves trying the "fine art" before the "anniversary of the atrocities in Sniper Alley".
Vile doesn't even start to do it justice.
