"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 programme showed Trump urging his supporters to fight like hell before the riots, but omitted a section where he told the crowd to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom, Leavitt told the Telegraph."
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent reports on developing stories and relies on donations to fund journalists and keep content free of paywalls. Donations enable reporters to investigate items like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The BBC faced accusations of misleading viewers by selectively editing a Trump speech ahead of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots. MPs raised questions after a leaked memo suggested viewers were completely misled. Trump's press secretary called the edited clip 'purposefully dishonest' and labeled the BBC '100 per cent fake news.'
