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.Police say a frustrated Boston woman called police to say she couldn't get her 14-year-old son to stop playing video games and go to sleep.
Police spokesman Officer Joe Zanoli said the mother called for help around 2:30 a.m. local time Saturday to say that the teenager also walked around the house and turned on all the lights.
Two officers who responded to the house persuaded the child to obey his mother.
Zanoli says the mother's police call over video game obsession "was a little unusual, but by no means is it surprising - especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games and computer games."
The Boston Herald first reported the police call, saying the boy was playing the popular Grand Theft Auto game.
