Letter: No competition
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.YOUR leading articles of 4 March display a surprising contrast in the treatment of Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch. Apparently Gates is "an international treasure", while Murdoch is "an agent of moral debilitation".
Many would not see the distinction. As one familiar with software other than that of Microsoft, I avoid using its products to the same extent that I boycott the emanations of News International. Gates and Murdoch in their attitudes to competition are two sides of the same coin.
