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.Leicester boss Nigel Pearson said fans should stay at home if they don't like what they are seeing at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes led through a Simon Mignolet own goal before eventually losing 3-1 to Liverpool on Tuesday night and are now rooted to the bottom of the Premier League having picked up just two points in the nine games since they last won, when they beat Manchester United on 21 September.
Pearson, who prefers to watch games from the stands rather than the dugout as it gives him a better viewpoint, was criticised by the fans that surround him during the defeat.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, the 51-year-old was not impressed.
"I replied to one idiot in the stands and if he doesn't like what he sees, then don't bother coming," Pearson told Sky Sports.
"Maybe they ought to think about staying at home, we need support, their support. We've worked hard tonight and will continue to do so."
He later added: "I will always look for the positives. It is very easy for people to look at what we are not good at.
"I don't like the commitment of my players being questioned. If they honestly think they are not committed, they are very wrong. Maybe that is why I stay in the stand."
