"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."
"During his symbolic first stop at the CBS News offices after closing the Paramount-Skydance mega-merger last month, David Ellison the network's new owner said all the right things during his meet-and-greet with staff. Barely a month later, whatever goodwill the chief executive had built up had evaporated entirely, with multiple network staffers telling The Independent that Ellison had lost the trust of the newsroom, who now see him as nothing but a liar as he takes steps to appease the right and President Donald Trump."
"He lied to us, one long-time CBS News employee bluntly stated. According to sources, Ellison's lack of credibility with the Tiffany Network news staff comes down to the broken promises he delivered following a politically-strained merger process that saw Paramount's former leadership agree to pay Trump $16 million to settle a meritless lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech with on-the-ground reporting and fact-checking to separate facts from messaging. Funding relies on donations rather than paywalls to keep journalism accessible to all. Journalists are deployed to interview multiple perspectives and maintain reach across the political spectrum. Following the Paramount-Skydance merger, David Ellison initially made conciliatory remarks to CBS News staff but then allegedly failed to honor promises, eroding newsroom trust. Staffers describe him as dishonest while he takes steps perceived to appease conservative figures and President Donald Trump. The merger included a $16 million settlement related to a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
