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.In our article, 'Taboo-buster: the dark side of Jimmy Carr' (18 November 2008), we wrote that Jimmy Carr's mother had divorced his father seven years before her death.
We have been asked by Jim Carr, Jimmy Carr's father, to correct this. They had an amicable separation but never divorced. Jim Carr has also asked us to make it clear that although, by choice, his youngest son, Patrick, continued to live in the family home with his older brother Jimmy, Jim Carr continued to be financially responsible for, and was the only legal guardian of, his youngest son until that son reached the age of 18 some 3 years later, so it was misleading to write in the article that Jimmy Carr and his older brother ' took on the responsibility of bringing up their younger brother'. We are pleased to do so and apologise to Jim Carr for the errors.
