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.

The co-creator of How I Met Your Motherhas made an admission about his enjoyment of the show.

Carter Bays is currently watching the sitcom back and is documenting his experience on Twitter.

However, as Bays reached the end of season three, he admitted that he’s not a fan of some of its moments.

Bays said he would love to have the chance to go back and remove particular scenes that he reckons “nobody would miss”.

“I won’t go into specifics but I’ll just say I would love to go into an edit room and go George Lucas on this thing and remove certain stuff I really wish wasn’t in there and I bet nobody would miss,” he wrote on Friday (4 June).

In April, it was revealed that Hulu had ordered a new show titled How I Met Your Father, which follows a woman named Sophie as she recounts the story of how she met her son’s dad.

Sophie will be played by Hilary Duff in the series, which will feature references to the main show.
