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.

The marketing team behind Ghostbusters is really struggling to sell their latest film; first off, the trailer has become the most disliked film trailer ever to hit YouTube. Meanwhile, the merchandise for the film has been unreasonably male-centric considering the new team is all female.

In another attempt to move fans on from that infamous trailer, Sony has released another TV spot, revealing that another iconic villain (as well as Slimer) will appear in the film: the Stay Muft Marshmallow Man.

The 30-second clip also features the other, bigger Stay Puft-like villain getting shot by Melissa McCarthy in, what we presume, is its reproductive organs.

Alongside McCarthy will is Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, as well as Chris Hemsworth who is their secretary.

Recently, director Paul Feige told people to stop calling the film a ‘chick flick’ while also defending Jones playing the ‘street-smart’ member of the squad.

Two ex-Ghostbusters, Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd, have recently heaped praise onto the reboot - both will also cameo in the film.
