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.

Letter: Clinton vs puritans

Sir: I do not approve of Clinton's affair with Lewinsky, but I approve even less of both Starr and the global media machine.

Starr appears hell-bent on removing a president from office. The global media machine appears hell-bent on trawling the depths of depravity to provide the most salacious material for its readers.

I feel most sorry for Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. To have dirty linen is bad; to have it aired around the world for all to see must be almost unbearable. One can only admire Hillary for the way in which she is supporting her husband.
