Letter: Distasteful use of a bird dying in oil
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.Sir: It is difficult for a newspaper such as yours to adopt the moral high ground when apportioning blame for the Shetland Islands oil disaster while simultaneously publishing an advert such as the one that appeared in the name of Benetton in your Saturday edition. If you truly claim to represent the conscience of so much of the thinking British population, it would surely not have been all that difficult a decision to tell Benetton to stick their ad up their jumper.
Yours faithfully,
