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.

The woman, thought to be in her 70s, was reported missing from the P&O cruise ship Aurora as it sailed from the Portuguese city of Oporto to Barcelona on Friday.
Her identity has not been released and a P&O statement said: "Our care team is supporting the family and offering assistance." The Foreign Office had also been providing assistance for the missing woman's family, the cruise operator said. The Aurora left Southampton for a 14-night western Mediterranean cruise last Wednesday.
Pat Rodgers, 70, from Sheffield, said the missing woman was believed to have been on holiday with her daughter. "The captain made an announcement over the loudspeaker at 8.10am on Saturday," she said.
