"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 White House press secretary has mocked the BBC following Tim Davie's resignation as director-general. Mr Davie resigned on Sunday evening, along with CEO of News Deborah Turness, following criticism that a BBC Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by US president Donald Trump. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted screenshots of two news articles, one showing Trump criticising the BBC, captioned shot, and another regarding Tim Davie's resignation, captioned chaser."
"The BBC had been expected to apologise on Monday following concerns about impartiality, including how a speech by US president Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama. A clip within the programme Trump: A Second Chance?, which was broadcast by the BBC the week before last year's US election, spliced clips together from sections of the US president's speech on 6 January 2021 to make it appear he told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to fight like hell."
The Independent highlights reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, citing investigations into an Elon Musk-aligned PAC and a documentary on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporters, free access without paywalls, and appeals for donations to fund journalism. Separately, BBC director-general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resigned amid criticism that a Panorama episode edited President Donald Trump's 6 January 2021 speech in a misleading way. The White House press secretary mocked the BBC by posting juxtaposed headlines, and concerns about impartiality at the broadcaster were intensified.
