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.

Fulham were forced to settle for a point after Wolves fought back at Craven Cottage.

Substitute Ryan Sessegnon climbed off the bench to slam home what he thought would be the winner late on but Romain Saiss profited from yet more poor defending to grab a share of the spoils.

The point sees Claudio Ranieri's men climb off the bottom of the table, at least temporarily.

Fulham 1-1 Wolves 

Been a really entertaining last 15 minutes and Saiss tries a long range attempt which whistles wide.

FULL TIME! Fulham 1-1 Wolves 

It was a tale of two halves as Wolves were the better side in the second half. 

Nevertheless, Fulham took the lead with a quarter of an hour to go as Ryan Sessegnon struck well. 

But Wolves never give in and have scored some big late goals already this season and they managed to find another one after patient play down the left saw Cavalleiro's cross cause too much danger and Saiss smashed it into the empty net. 

Fulham move off the bottom and will expect to stay there as Huddersfield face Manchester United at Old Trafford and are unlikely to get anything. 

Thanks for joining me in the early kick off and I'll be taking you through the Premier League's 3PMs here, with the Independent.
