Letter: Murdoch's bid
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.

Sir: My nine-year-old son loves Manchester United Football Club with a passion which is heart-wrenching, even though he has only ever seen them on television. His bedroom is a shrine to Man U, full of merchandise we have bought him - despite misgivings at their callous commercialisation - because of his affection for the lads who play in the "Theatre of Dreams".
However, if the club is taken over by Rupert Murdoch, not only shall I be asking for a refund of our membership fees, but I shall do all in my power to redirect his loyalties to a more worthy target. It should be easy, as he will no longer have the opportunity to see his team play.
It was bad enough to see the club becoming the "Theatre of Dosh". A "Theatre of Media Domination" is something I will have no part of.
