Recommended listening from Top Comment, the BBC podcast that investigates what's blowing up online.

In this clip from the latest episode Marianna Spring and Matt Shea look at the highly convincing fake BBC news articles that are being promoted on Truth social and other major sites. One example, which describes a fictional altercation on Question Time between Nigel Farage and the governor of the Bank of England, appears to be an elaborate attempt to promote a murky crypto operation.
