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.

39' - Reiss Nelson cuts inside from the left wing and shoots from distance but his effort is tame and the ball goes wide of Jordan Smith's near post.
42' - Ben Brereton gets in behind the Arsenal defence for the third time in this opening period but again he fails to beat David Ospina, as the Colombian makes a good save down low to his left.
GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-1 Arsenal (Lichaj)
44' - What. A. Goal.
Rob Holding's headed clearance is poor and the ball drops kindly for Eric Lichaj, who takes a touch before volleying a dipping shot past the rooted David Ospina and into the top corner.
That's a goal worthy of winning any game.
Half-time - Nottingham Forest 2-1 Arsenal
The referee brings the opening period to a close and we've got an upset on the cards after that stunning Eric Lichaj volley for Nottingham Forest.
The final whistle has gone at Wembley and Spurs are into the fourth round after a 3-0 win over Wimbledon.
52' - We're a good few minutes into this second half and Arsenal are yet to up their level. Are they going to become this year's biggest third-round casualty in around 40 minutes' time?
