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.MARK CONSIDINE, the Leicester City Riders centre, deserted the English game this week to sign for the Belgian club, Ghent, writes Duncan Hooper.
The Riders received a paltry pounds 1,000 fee for the player, who was determined to leave the First Division club after last month being denied a move to Doncaster Panthers, the Second Division leaders.
Considine's departure has increased the frustration at Leicester who are trying to cling to a top eight place in the division, which will earn them a berth in the quarter-finals of the play-offs.
Doncaster face one of the strongest challenges to their promotion drive tonight, away to third-placed Crystal Palace, who then play second-placed Middlesbrough Mohawks tomorrow. Palace's task is to win enough games to open up the promotion race.
