Are right-wing "news sources" this desperate?

I'm getting e-mails from several right-wing "news sources" the past week, like WND and Gateway Pundit.

I have unsubscribed from them, but they still keep popping up in my e-mails, and I have no idea how I got on their lists in the first place.

Anyone else getting them?

When you click on a link to unsubscribe they know they have a live email and will continue to contact you.
Best to just delete without clicking on any links.

Guess it's too late in your case.
