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.Football is back. Unfortunately for fans that means former Liverpool and England striker Michael Owen is back in the commentary box.
Taking his seat behind the mic for the Community Shield between Arsenal and Chelsea, the BT Sport pundit quickly became a top trend.
Owen, 35, was labelled 'boring', 'monotone' and 'annoying' on social media, with several users suggesting that had opted for the mute button rather than listen to him.
Plenty others were a bit more X-rated in their use of language.
