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.

"A senior Labour cabinet minister has criticised a mosque for banning women and girls over the age of 12 from participating in a charity fun run. Housing secretary Steve Reed said the controversial entry requirements were inappropriate and that it was wrong that woman were barred from an activity that men were allowed to participate in. Organised by the East London Mosque, the annual event saw more than a thousand runners participate in Victoria Park on Sunday."
A London mosque organised an annual charity fun run in Victoria Park that restricted participation to men, boys of all ages and girls under 12, excluding women and girls over 12. Organisers described the event as family-friendly and inclusive despite the age and gender limits. More than a thousand runners took part. Housing secretary Steve Reed criticised the entry requirements as inappropriate and stated it was wrong to bar women from an activity available to men. The event faces accusations of breaching the Equality Act, which organisers deny, and legal scrutiny was suggested by commentators.
