Letter: BBC's reputation for truth deserves a better guardian

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.

TWO ABLE women lawyers in the United States engaged cheap labour to look after their children: they were not considered fit for a responsible government job. A clever man in Britain engaged an unnamed secretary to avoid paying tax: the Establishment rallied round and saved him.

The two rafts that kept the Establishment afloat have outlived their usefulness: the political party system is in crisis; the limited liability company has become an instrument for fraud. When the Independent on Sunday hits the tip of the iceberg of moral decline, it is labelled a crazy newspaper.
