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.A Norwegian television advert improbably featuring the likes of Roger Moore, John Nettles and Paul McKenna lip synching to a 1980s cover of Let It Be has become a viral internet hit.
Beginning with the former Bond actor Moore delivering the opening lines in William Shatner-style spoken form, the video sees a bizarre mixture of British, American and Norwegian celebrities singing along to the 1987 Ferry Aid version of the famous Beatles song.
The dozens of curiously chosen film and TV stars include Hollywood representatives Glenn Close and Dolph Lundgren, Gorden Kaye of 'Allo 'Allo fame, and George Wendt, who played Norm in Cheers. The advert, a YouTube hit, promotes the Norwegian TV series Gylne Tider, or Golden Times.
