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.

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.SHARES in WPP, the advertising group which only a few months ago teetered on the brink of collapse, look severely undervalued, according to a growing band of analysts. With the refinancing secured, the shares are still trading at just 30p, compared with the 60p at which bankers agreed to swap their debt into equity. The company is valued at just pounds 135m, and with dollars 2.4bn ( pounds 1.2bn) of turnover WPP could find itself at the wrong end of a bid.
