Congratulations NPR on a masterful April Fools joke.
This was their headline and article teaser.
The actual text of the article was:
Congratulations, genuine readers, and happy April Fools’ Day!
We sometimes sense that some people are commenting on NPR stories that they haven’t actually read. If you are reading this, please like this post and do not comment on it. Then lets’s see what people have to say about this “story.”
Best wishes and have an enjoyable day,
Your friends at NPR
The comments on facebook were of course as expected! The ones on the website were more slanted to those who actually read the article.
