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.Police are appealing for help to trace a mother who has gone missing with her five-month-old daughter.
Officers say they are increasingly concerned for the welfare of Toni McNelis, 24, and her daughter who have been reported missing from an address in Marine Drive in Edinburgh.
They were last seen leaving the area on Wednesday evening.
Ms McNelis is described as being of average build with long brown hair and brown eyes.
Police Scotland inspector Graeme Dignan said: “Concerns are growing for the welfare of Toni and her daughter and we are appealing to anyone who may have seen them recently or know of their whereabouts to get in touch with us through the 101 number.
“This is out of character for Toni and I would ask anyone who may have seen them to call us immediately in so we can ensure she is safe and well.
“Likewise I would ask Toni herself to get in touch with us if she sees this appeal in order to let us know she is safe and well.”
