How influence flows: Money, power and think tanks

In today's information landscape, think tanks and NGOs are often treated as neutral sources of truth. But how independent are they, really?

In this episode of Facts Tell, we look at CHRD and ASPI – two widely cited institutions – and examine how funding, structure and political ties may shape their research and conclusions.
