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.TV news reporter gaffes are a plentiful source of amusement, but since the BBC's Simon McCoy presented a segment holding a stack of papers he had mistaken for his iPad, it's been difficult to make an impression in the genre.

But now a new challenger emerges, and he doesn't actually work as reporter or an anchor. In fact, he doesn't even belong in front of the camera.
The crew member on Hungarian show Duna Televízió is caught in shot following a cutaway, running through the studio as the presenter delivers a piece to camera.
You might expect him to turn and run back in the opposite direction, but instead he pauses for a moment before making a spectacular swan dive onto the studio floor much like a flying squirrel leaving its perch.
He falls tragically short however, regroups and stands back up before running behind a screen.
The host continues to plough through the segment, unaware of the GIF history being made behind him.
