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.

Jennifer Lopez has her own range of scents. Her latest, Live, was introduced in 2005 as J-Lo's fourth perfume to hit the shops. It's a more grown-up, vanilla-based fragrance than earlier scents.
HE'S GOT BECKS APPEAL
After giving his face to so many brands, David Beckham has finally lent his name to his first fragrance. Instinct by David Beckham is a "strong and refreshing scent with citrus tones".

A CUT ABOVE THE REST
Earlier this year, Wales rugby legend Gavin Henson backed up the claim that Gillette really is the best this man can get when he signed a deal to promote their "revolutionary" three-blade razor, the Mach 3.
THE SMELL OF SUCCESS
You've seen the adverts - right? Ben Affleck counts the ladies who check him out as he saunters around town, only to be outdone by the geek wearing Lynx deodorant. The gimmick works: Lynx sales have sky-rocketed and Ben pocketed a cool $1.8m from the campaign.
