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.

Sir: When you repeat a lie often enough, it may seem to be, but never will be, the truth.

Britain's Ministry of Defence spokesman repeated the old lie that the Yugoslav people are informed on the war courtesy only of Yugoslav TV.

I can confirm to you that we watch much more BBC, Sky News and CNN than we do Yugoslav TV.

On the other hand, the British public is informed only by Western media organisations, which are heavily dependent on Nato and KLA sources.

It is deplorable enough that you are destroying civilian infrastructure and killing hundreds of civilians, but to claim that you are doing it to educate the Yugoslav people is incredibly evil.
