During a cursory Google search I found some people complaining about them showing up on their own web server, so I suspect it may be malicious (or at least unsolicited) rather than an intentional money-grab. Much as it pains me to defend the honor of Fox News.

Nah, Fox News has been partnered with Kontera for at least two years.

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 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.
