I'll just leave the question at that, because I can't even speculate.

driving traffic to monetized websites (news, porn, ad-loaded blogs) would be my first guess. Propaganda secondarily, which could also intersect with news and blog referrals.

    This is what I was wondering, is there some monetization scheme they're taking advantage of?

    The ones I'm thinking of don't seem to be advertising products or sites, specifically, though. But, I thought there might be something more subtle going on.
