While it looks frivolous, that's probably some kind of attempt to attract... common people to the news front page. We don't have access to BBC's analytics so it's hard to determine if this technique manages funnel the unwashed masses towards quality content.

If you open up something like the World section (and subsections), you'll get a lot of good reporting.

I also find the shows From Our Own Correspondent the Global News Podcast to be world-class news sources.

Yeah I think that's a fair assessment. I also agree that From Our Own Correspondent is first rate.

The main problem I have is not a lack of good content but filtering good from frivolous.

You'll see that in the technology section too.

For every insightful article you'll find 3 discussing "so called "computer mice" are a way to interact with a so called computer"...
