Brett, this is *blatant* selling of PR. Although, I tend to agree FoxNews may not know what PR is. Take a look at what is at that "BUY THIS LINK":

"We negotiated with the largest publishers on the internet to sell us "TEXT LINKS" by the hundreds so that we could resell them individually to our clients. That way the publishers get one large lump of money from us and our clients get to advertise on the most prestigious sites on the internet at a fraction of the standard price."

What I suspect happens is that this company approached FoxNews and bought so much space on their home page for x amount of dollars a month. Which they resell text links in. The problem: HOW can one know if they buyer's motivation for a link is PR or traffic? Selling space for links to websites has been going on for a long time, even before Google.
