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.

England, still reeling from their shock defeat to Ireland, were reduced to 171 all out but dismissed South Africa for 165 in reply.
Swann told Sky Sports 2: "We didn't think 170 was as competitive as it should have been but it's proved to be that so were delighted.
"We knew there was life in the pitch for us. We knew how difficult it was to score when we batted, particularly at the end (of the innings).
"It just goes to show if you believe you can win in any game you can, as Ireland proved last week and so did we today.
"It's just nice that we've played a game and no one's got a hundred against us. We have had a bit of a rollercoaster World Cup so far," Swann added.
