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 frontman of the band James has said the group is examining their options after Tommy Robinson used its song in a video without permission. The far-right figure used the indie band's smash hit Sit Down' in a video posted on X to highlight the size of the protest he organised in London on Saturday. Around 110,000 people gathered in Whitehall for the Unite the Kingdom event spearheaded by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon."
