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.Casualty, the BBC's admired hospital drama, has come under criticism in the latest complaints report by the Broadcasting Standards Council. The episode in question, the last in the last series, raised many eyebrows before its screening as it was given a last-minute, post- Watershed rescheduling. Nevertheless the BSC received 55 complaints concerning the violence in a riot scene that culminated in an attack on the hospital. The BSC upheld the complaints, deciding that the episode's 'exaggerated treatment of contemporary urban violence, and the consequent violation of the sanctity viewers normally associate with hospitals, would have betrayed the expectations of many of its audience'.
