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.

Railtrack said 40 per cent of the network would continue to run from noon on Monday. The figure was disputed by the union, while BR said that more trains would run than last week.
Last night it emerged that two supervisors, members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, had been disciplined for refusing to work a level- crossing during one of the strikes by signalling workers.
