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.

India A started their second innings some 144 behind after the Proteas batted on to improve their overnight total from 342 for 5 to 463 all out. Aavishkar Salvi was the pick of the India A attack taking 4 for 92.
South Africa, who play England in the first Test at Edgbaston on Thursday, were in with an outside chance of victory after Shaun Pollock and Monde Zondeki reduced their opponents to 35 for 2.
However, Wasim Jaffer (54) and Hemang Badani (58no) shared a third-wicket stand of 101 and stumps were finally drawn at 160 for 3.
Earlier, Boeta Dippenaar (37), Pollock (36) and Robin Peterson (32) had put South Africa into a commanding position.
