Letter: Surfers against the Big Mac
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.From Ms Franny Armstrong
Sir: In your article ("Burger giant under McSpotlight", 17 February) you state that the "McLibel Two" defendants instigated the "McSpotlight" anti-McDonald's World Wide Web site, launched last Friday. They have indeed contributed, but it is important to note that the site is a completely independent project of the McInformation Network (a network of volunteers working from 14 countries around the world), who are responsible for setting up and running this online library of over 1,300 files (accessed 35,386 times on its first day).
Sincerely,
