LETTER: Her Majesty still rules the airwaves
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 Mrs Jennifer Miller Sir: Mark Lawson criticises the Queen's Christmas message as out of touch (comment, 27 December), when in fact her themes were echoed in your Boxing Day resume: "1994: moments that made the year", which mentioned the possible resolution of what had previously seemed irresoluble conflicts, hopes of peace in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the political achievement in South Africa.
As for Ken Livingstone saying Her Majesty's speech is boring, how many watch broadcasts on behalf of his own or any other political party? Television audiences are declining in general, and the most popular Christmas Day programme after the Queen's Speech, East Enders, also lost 2 million viewers compared to last year.
Yours faithfully, JENNIFER MILLER London, SW15
