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.Larry King, the veteran American broadcaster, is to host a political talk show on Russia Today, the Kremlin-funded television channel.
Mr King, 79, who left CNN in 2010 after 25 years at the network, will present “Politics with Larry King” from next month. The channel claims that the programme will be a “mould-breaking political talk show”.
“I have always been passionate about government and issues that impact the public, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to talk politics with some of the most influential people in Washington and around the country,” said Mr King in a statement.
It seems unlikely that he will interview any Russian political figures, and instead will focus on US politicians.
