BBC bias row: How the spat between the broadcaster and Trump unfolded
"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."
"The programme, aired just a week prior to the 2024 US election results, is accused of misleadingly editing a speech Mr Trump delivered on 6 January 2021. It spliced two distinct clips, creating the impression that Mr Trump instructed the crowd: We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."
"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."
Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting on issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech. The outlet emphasizes investigative work, such as examining Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent says it avoids paywalls and relies on supporters to make journalism available to all. Donald Trump announced his intention to sue the BBC over a Panorama documentary that aired before the 2024 election, alleging misleading editing of his 6 January 2021 speech. The alleged splice created the impression he urged the crowd to march to the Capitol, prompting executive resignations at the BBC.
