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.

Miley Cyrus is something of a welcome loose cannon. Promotional appearances are rarely the scripted, neatly packaged affairs delivered by most high-profile people. The singer, who has ditched the publicist and vowed never to do a red carpet again, shows little regard for public opinion and never toes the line, regardless of the subject.

This week, Cyrus headed to the Today Show to promote Crisis in Six Scenes, the forthcoming TV series directed by Woody Allen, and The Voice, where she is a judge.

But before her interview commenced, Cyrus was filmed sitting on a chair, poised for her grilling, as the camera panned from the engineering room to her. What she didn't know is that her microphone was still on. We are all too aware by now that Cyrus has an affinity for sticking her tongue out and profanities, and so it was inevitable that both would make an appearance from the mouth of the unassuming star.

“There’s no sound, so it doesn’t matter what I’m saying, right?” she asked after making a variety of faces. “F**K!”
