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.Oh dear. Paxman-esque tenacity is prized among TV interviewers, but sometimes - particularly when your line of questioning is a ludicrous and not-so-faintly Islamophobic one - it's better to just let go.
Here Fox News host Lauren Green tries to pin down respected scholar Reza Aslan on why, as a Muslim, he felt capable of writing a book about the life of Jesus. Aslan refers her to his Ph.D. Then he points to 20 years studying the history of religions. Then, admirably, he repeats himself. But Green just won't quit.
