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.Rush Limbaugh is the king of right-wing radio talk shows, but some of his courtiers think he is even bigger than that: they think he has a line to God.
The Limbaugh people threw a party for sponsors in San Jose, California. KCSA, the local radio station, carries Rush and were looking forward to his visit. The day before the do, KCSA's weatherman wrote a forecast promising rain. After the Limbaugh people got wind of it, he was told to change it to a sunnier outlook. He refused ... and was fired. A KCSA spokesman said the dismissal was a "misunderstanding".
The party? Just as food was served, the heavens opened.
