LETTER: Assault and flattery
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.From A Leslie
Sir: The Independent is to be congratulated for giving front page cover to the jailing of Duncan Ferguson for his assault of a fellow professional on the field of play.
Because of his activities off the field, I was surprised that Rangers signed him in the first place. Ferguson is also not a good example for the Everton manager, Joe Royle, to offer as a hero to all the young Everton supporters.
Yours faithfully
