The Independent seeks donations to support its independent journalism covering crucial US issues like reproductive rights and climate change, ensuring accessible reporting without paywalls. The article then discusses the “Melania” documentary, noting its extremely low critic score (8%) but exceptionally high audience score (99%) on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes denies manipulating the audience reviews, stating they are verified purchases.

The Independent’s critic gave it a one-star review, calling it vapid and portraying Melania as part-puppet, part-creative, and part-symbol.
