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.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

The arguments over who should be in charge of the Lance Armstrong doping investigation took a new twist yesterday with the suggestion that the Court of Arbitration for Sport be called in.

Both the US Anti-Doping Agency and cycling's world governing body, the UCI, want to be in charge of the investigation into the seven-times Tour de France winner, and now the UCI has suggested CAS be called in to decide that issue. Armstrong has always denied wrongdoing.
