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.

BP is likely to write down part of its 10 per cent stake, valued at around $500m. It comes amid a fresh round of senior casualties following BP's merger with Amoco, the US oil group.
Correction: The photograph printed in Saturday's Briefing was not of Peter Rogers, chief executive of the Independent Television Commission, but of Sir Robin Biggam, chairman of the television watchdog.
