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.

Your support makes all the difference.A teacher who moonlighted as a stripper and appeared in porn films was reprimanded by the General Teaching Council yesterday but told he could carry on teaching.
Benedict Garrett, 31, was found guilty of professional misconduct. The council heard that the head of personal, social and health education at Beal High School in Ilford, Essex, had been stripping in clubs and worked as a naked butler.
He is not teaching now and the panel said it was confident that Mr Garrett would not repeat his behaviour should he return to teaching.
