They’re All ‘National Enquirer’ Now

Seriously folks, I mean it.

Not just Fox News either; MSNBC and even CNN as well. Here’s a screen snippet from each, all snapshotted the morning of the 29th of July:

[…] Yes, all three also have “Adwords” advertising on them. But, one must assume, the reason all this spammy garbage is on these pages is that they are simply not making any money off “traditional” (e.g. “the car dealer near you wants to sell you a car!”) ads.

Are these “ads” in the traditional sense? No, they’re not.

Go over to a site like the “Gateway Pundit” and this is all you’ll find. You might think that’s a decent marker for the site being “fringe” but you’d be wrong because the same sort of “ads” are all over the so-called “mainstream” sites too.
