Reply #19: Anyone see this? MSNBC linking directly to Hillary Clinton's campaign

This may be no big deal. But if you click on the link below, it takes you to an MSNBC front page story about Hillary Clinton's interview yesterday on Meet The Press.

If you click on her name at the head of the article beneath the date, "Sen. Hillary Clinton", it takes you directly to her website, where you are asked to give a donation to her campaign.

Is this normal? Do all the news stories about a candidate feature their name in bold at the head of an article with a link to their campaign? Maybe they do for all I know. I'm not accusing MSNBC of playing favorites, if this is customary. And I'm not blaming Hillary Clinton's campaign, but possibly MSNBC instead. I don't think I've ever seen this before with other candidates and the news stories about them. But I could be wrong.
