Something about the stories on the BBC News page made it look like a fake BBC News page
There was something about the stories on the BBC News homepage that made Dan Barker think it looked like a fake BBC News home page and, you know what, it really did.
The BBC news homepage looks like someone made a fake BBC news homepage. pic.twitter.com/UhY8K8WNUE

It’s the ‘My dad wore the same socks for 4 days’ that clinches it for us.
Not everyone was happy though.
I'm critical of the BBC in all sorts of ways, but the way you (literally) framed that tweet was disingenuous. You wanted people to think it was the entire homepage, right?

Mate, I think anyone whose first thought that this was an attack on the beloved BBC rather than a funny little observation at how mad the world seems combined with how contemporary news content is sold and consumed, needs to take a day off to recallibrate.
