Biased reporting and the BBC
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 Mr Simon Regan

Sir: While we were most interested in the main thrust of today's article on Julian Lewis ("Tireless bloodhound on trail of `bias' ", 29 March), there were two small points which were not strictly accurate.
1. We did not apologise to John Major. We merely gave an undertaking not to repeat the alleged libel. There were no other conditions.
2. While Julian Lewis indeed used various tactics to undermine our operation, he has not closed us down. We are preparing our next edition at this moment and it will be on sale just after Easter. Most of the writs he did issue to the trade are being vigorously defended.
Yours sincerely,
SIMON REGAN
