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 BURNING desire to erase the memory of Sunday's humiliating 3- 0 defeat by Arsenal was Manchester United's motivation behind their 2- 0 victory over Liverpool last night.
United's England defender Gary Neville admitted: "It's not nice coming off a performance like Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were not nice days for us. Tonight, we've gone a little bit of the way to putting that right. But we're not there yet, we've still got a lot to do as a team."
Neville, moved to centre-back to cope with the pace of Liverpool's danger man Michael Owen, added: "We've improved tonight from Sunday - that's all we could have done, really. We let ourselves down, we let everybody down, with the way we performed on Sunday."
The United manager, Alex Ferguson, said: "Gary Neville was marvellous. His reading of situations and organisational ability were excellent, and his determination to win the match was superb. But everyone worked their socks off."
