"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."
"Sir Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure to intervene over Donald Trump's outrageous attempts to sue the BBC for $10bn in response to the editing of a speech he made before the 2021 attack on the Capitol. The BBC said documents filed at a court late on Monday in a federal court in Miami asked for $5bn (3.7bn) in damages for defamation, as well as the same amount for a claim of violating trade practices."
"President Trump's lawyers argue the depiction of him given in the edit, which aired in a Panorama documentary a week before the results of the 2024 US election, "was false and defamatory" and they also said "the BBC intentionally and maliciously sought to fully mislead its viewers around the world". The BBC is not the first broadcaster to be sued by Trump, who is engaged in legal action with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal (PA)"
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, citing investigations like the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word'. The outlet solicits donations to continue sending journalists to cover both sides of stories and maintains free access by avoiding paywalls, relying on supporters to fund quality journalism. Separately, Donald Trump has filed a $10bn legal claim against the BBC over an edited Panorama speech from before the 2021 Capitol attack, alleging defamation and trade-practices violations; the BBC says it will defend the case.
