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.The last time an Alan Titchmarsh interview caught our attention was in June when a documentary about the Queen featured questions not far from "Why are you so bloody wonderful, ma'am?"
But, on Wednesday, Titch came over like the heir to Robin Day when Mexican pet trainer, Cesar "The Dog Whisperer" Millan appeared on his ITV1 show. After some brief chit-chat, Titchmarsh laid into Millan (insofar as Alan can lay into anyone) for his rough training methods which can involve using electric shocks and hitting misbehaving dogs to make them act in line. Millan has faced criticism in the past from the American Humane Association and the RSPCA, but none can match the mauling of an accusatory Titchmarsh telling him: "Having watched a lot of boxing, it looked like something Henry Cooper would deliver." Next up, Conrad Black!
