What's with Crooks & Liars and PoliticusUSA imbedding IdealMedia Right-Wing News links on sites?

.

I often frequent C&L (also a monthly donor) and PoliticusUSA.

Lately, I'm noticing a disturbing trend to imbed IdealMedia articles, which includes Daily Caller, Sean Hannity and other RW site links.

Is the RW slowly infultrating liberal websites, using tacit measures to sway public opinion?

There must be some concerted effort to third-way these websites into very moderate-leaning ones. TheBlackAdder Feb 2018 #4

But the questionable links are all in the "Now Buzzing" category. Just avoid that (think of it as advertising, which is might be akin to.)
