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.A HISTORIC moment at Lord's Cricket Ground. The South African opening batsmen come out down the Pavilion steps to set foot on the turf for the first time in 29 years - and the BBC miss it] What we are subjected to instead is a recorded sequence of the pixie-like figure of Geoffrey Boycott prodding the pitch with a key, and babbling about the state of the grass.
Finally the BBC2 cameras focus live at last - and the batsmen are already on the pitch.
Who is the idiotic producer who prevented the world from seeing a moment of sporting history as it happened?
