Nah, Fox News has been partnered with Kontera for [at least two years](http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/kontera-gets-155-mil-text-ads-99927).

> While user-generated content like message boards remains a big source of inventory, Kontera has plenty of top-tier sites. Some publishers, particularly in the news industry, initially balked at embedding advertising into their editorial. [Forbes.com](http://Forbes.com) backtracked on a test with Vibrant Media in 2004 after protests within the newsroom and critical commentary elsewhere.

> Now, publishers like U.S. News, MSNBC and Fox News display in-text ads from Kontera or Vibrant. Kontera boasts nearly 15,000 publishers in its network.
