Google places targeted ads on web pages based on text on the page. Fox may do the same thing. It's all automated.

often times they have ads that aren't even connected to the text on the page - it can be just a coincedence.
on 9/11/01 there were ads for lowered fairs and extra miles on the cnn (i believe) page right below the picture of the plane going into one of the towers. i remember seeing this, but i don't know where so i can't place the link.

There was another one about a woman that killed her boyfriend for erasing her Ipod, that had an Ipod ad on the same page.
