Michelle stays cool on 'Daily Show'
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.Cindy McCain may have gone on the attack on her husband's behalf, but Michelle Obama has stepped back into the media spotlight by turning the other cheek to the sharp Republican attacks raining down on her husband.
Interviewed on Jon Stewart's satirical The Daily Show on NBC and Larry King Live on CNN, she was careful to express only respect for the McCain-Palin ticket, and batted attempts by the two hosts to get a rise out of her by bringing up Sarah Palin's accusations that Mr Obama consorted and associated with an urban terrorist.
