Scrolling through the biggest stories in America right now. With Fox News forced to defend its editorial standards, Donald Trump attacking 鈥減udding fingers鈥� Ron DeSantis and a conservative beer boycott spilling over, the Americast team take a few of this week鈥檚 most talked about topics and explain the context behind the clickbait.

What鈥檚 been happening? Why does it matter? And why are we seeing so much of it all on social media?

We also talk about the spate of shootings of people for tragically turning up in the wrong place and the effect of 鈥渟tand your ground鈥� laws on how gun owners view self-defence.

HOSTS:
鈥� Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
鈥� Sarah Smith, North America editor
鈥� Marianna Spring, disinformation and social media correspondent
鈥� Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent
