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.THE PORTRAYAL of Camilla Parker Bowles by Kate Watson-Smyth ("The rehabilitation of the 'Rottweiler' ", 1 November) confirms our worst fears about our future king's mistress. Her spin doctors are mistaken if they believe that the presentation of Camilla in a big hat has changed public perception of this idle, self-indulgent woman.
Her general attitude to life appears to echo that of the landed gentry of pre-war years. She pays no heed to the fact that 80 per cent of the population want to see her favourite pastime (hunting) outlawed. When the wishes of the electorate finally prevail what outlet will poor Camilla then find for her aggressive assertiveness?
