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.Queens Park Rangers are preparing for their third consecutive London derby when they welcome West Ham to Loftus Road on Monday.
The Hammers have found the net in each of their home clashes this season; however they’ve failed to register an away goal in their two trips so far this term.
And if they break the away 'drought' of sorts, it won't be done by the head/foot of Andy Carroll, who is still out injured (hamstring) while midfielder Jack Collison is also missing (knee).
QPR have a flurry of injury concerns, namely Jose Bosingwa, Fabio and Anton Ferdinand (all hamstring). Adel Taarabt, who also had a hamstring injury, could return to face their London rivals. Andrew Johnson (knee), Stephane M'Bia (knock) and Armand Traore (knock) will also be out of the matchday squad.
KICK OFF: Monday, 8pm
