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.If you thougt Tavi was young, think again: a pint-sized child blogger is getting hundreds of thousands of YouTube views for her tips on how to look like a pirate or princess.
For her first video posted in March, Madison (apparently instructed by her mother) delivered a picture-perfect imitation of the currently so-popular beauty tutorials, describing the benefits of the makeup products of a certain beauty brand.
Companies must be kicking themselves for not thinking of this marketing strategy themselves, since the clip - due to "cute" slips of tongue such as "you have to fry this" - has since gotten more than 600,000 views. Some, however, are commenting that a five-year-old holding products into the camera like an old pro and maybe focusing too much on makeup in general is making them feel uncomfortable, especially after an eight-year-old Botox patient raised concerns in the US that children's exposure to pressure regarding their body image has gone too far.
