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.Disney has wasted no time showing off their new Fox assets, placing images of The Simpsons, Deadpool and Avatar on their website's homepage.
The company completed its acquisition of 21st Century Fox overnight, closing out the deal for $71.3 billion (£53.9 billion).
Other Fox properties that are now appearing on the Disney website include The Shape of Water and Donald Glover's TV show Atlanta.
They join Frozen, Star Wars, Captain Marvel, Toy Story and more on the banner for the page.
Under the new megadeal, Disney now owns Fox's film and television assets, the FX networks, National Geographic and Fox's 30 per cent stake in the streaming service Hulu. Added to their own initial stake, they now own 60 per cent of Hulu.
Other properties owned by Disney include X-Men, Die Hard, Alien, Predator, Planet of the Apes, Kingsman, X-Files, and Family Guy.
Disney has to sell 22 of its regional sports networks so that the purchase does not count as a monopoly in the United States.
