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.Add this to the List of Topics Whereof Mitt Romney Should Not Speak: films. His comments describing the controversial YouTube film Innocence of Muslims, which sparked mob attacks in the Middle East as an expression of "American Values" have not got down well in the US.
In The New York Times today, Timothy Egan writes "Romney's craven attack was fundamentally dishonest, riddled with errors, and premised on notions that a kook would harbour. His response was no more accurate than the film."
