Letter: Stars and gripes
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: Lisa O'Kelly ('Good heavens] I see stars', 2 December) infers that astrology has become respectable because it's in the Sunday Times. I'm afraid that she's got it the wrong way round. The presence of Shelley von Strunckel's column in the Sunday Times magazine is simply a sign that a once-great newspaper has gone even further 'down the tube'. The fact that the readers of a so-called 'quality' newspaper actually wanted this column suggests that they are both less well-educated and less discriminating than of yore.
Yours faithfully,
