Why does Josh Marshall have Ann Coulter ads on his site?

I am pleased with the work that Talking Points Memo does, but does anyone else find it annoying that Counter's ads run on his site?

1. He's also has Glenn Beck...

I had heard from I think it was Daily Kos that sometimes they do have right wing ads on their pages...it had something to do with fairness.

2. OK thanks

but I can't stand looking at the photo of Counter (or Beck).

3. probably for the same reason DU had them...

because Google ads pick up on content and keywords, and someone must have typed her name at some point there... much like I expect to see one here since her name appears in your subject line.

It's how the Google Ads algorythm works..

5. Keyword, politics. Not rightwing, kooky nutty, assholes, insane or any of the other hooks that

would match the ad to the crazy bastards on the right.
