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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WELSH NATIONALISTS could stop Labour having overall control of the Welsh Assembly, Plaid Cymru said yesterday.
The party president, Dafydd Wigley, said growing support for the party in opinion polls and the increasing unpopularity of the Labour government made 30 per cent of the vote an attainable target in the historic elections next May.
At the opening of Plaid Cymru's annual conference in Cardiff, Mr Wigley said: "For the first time we are in a position to take on the responsibility of power. After more than 70 years of campaigning as a party, we are now ready to play a part in the government of our country."
Polls give Plaid Cymru 24 per cent support among Welsh voters, more than double the level at the general election.
Mr Wigley predicted that even more disillusioned Labour voters would switch their support because of the Government's lack of action over the problems of manufacturing industry and agriculture, key sectors in Wales.
