Obviously just damage control but they do seem to be "fixing it". They must've accidentally implemented a feature to get and show image from the newest news post (which is often an ad), accidentally tested and vetted that feature, and accidentally pushed it.

I can see how that's a bug that it got released if the intended purpose was to do a POC and gauge the reaction from some internal testers.

But even then they were POC-ing that, which is terrible

Yeah it is possible he's accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that's how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a "bug", though.
