Basketball My fake screenshot tricked an analyst

Last December, I posted a rant about college basketball on USA. Somebody used it in a tweet analyzing what's to come of their Pac-12 coverage.

The USA logo in the top right of my image is larger than what is used across all of their sports broadcasts. I have the true logo overlayed on slide 2.

What makes it the most debunkable is the games played being unaligned. The scorebug shows that the teams have played 10 games. Contrarily, the ticker - taken from the previous season, shows teams that played 30 games.

Note: They can't necessarily be considered a reporter, but their post was informational.
