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.

Letter: What goes around comes around

ALTHOUGH ANTHONY Daniels' article about the media and politicians' treatment of Glenn Hoddle is on the whole admirable, the overall effect was ruined by his crass lumping together of "alternative medicine" and "creationist science". The first is the product of thousands of years of observation and records of empirical data, the second, the reaction of a few dozen Victorian clerics to Darwin.

A minimum of research reveals that many of the ailments that "real" medicine has no diagnosis of or answer for, respond well to "alternative" medicine.
