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.Rafa Benitez will most likely put his entire team behind the ball and look to stop Manchester City for as long as possible in hope of a fortuitous goal or clean sheet for Newcastle.
He did this last season and last week against Chelsea, where he was criticised for his negative style of play after Wolves drew with City after a bold attacking performance.
“Last season he did it against us away and at home,” said Pep Guardiola on Benitez’s tactics. “Everything he is going to do is because he believes it’s the best for them to get points.”

24 mins: SAVED!
Gross' penalty is saved by Bettinelli who is back in the side today.
Murray will be kicking himself for not taking it himself. Big chance gone for the scoring to be opened.
After a good start for Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have started to dominate possession and are keeping the Cherries penned in.
We're half an hour into Premier League kick offs and we still have no goals.
Not a single one.
I won't do any more jinxing.
Palace have had a big penalty shout waved away as Bertrand came from behind Benteke and felled him but Martin Atkinson refuses to blow up.
Still 0-0.
GOAL! EVERTON 0-1 HUDDERSFIELD (Billing, 34)
The biggest home banker of the Premier League games has produced the first goal and it would surely be your last guess!
The Terriers take the lead at Goodison despite Everton's good form so far this season.
GOAL! EVERTON 1-1 HUDDERSFIELD (Calvert-Lewin, 35)
Digne's cross is sent towards Calvert-Lewin who's header is flicked towards goal and beats Lossl even though he will feel he could've done slightly better.
Their lead was very very short-lived!
I told you it was a surprise they took the lead.
Willian is hobbling off but will be hoping to come back on. He's played okay so far having replaced Pedro.
BRIGHTON 0-1 FULHAM (Schurrle, 42)
Fulham continue where they left off last week and having saved a penalty earlier in the afternoon, the Cottagers now have the lead at the Amex.
