I still remember one fake news site that took this to the extreme, in that it linked to a story that flat out didn't exist on the site it linked to. More common what I see is these sites just link to other articles on the site as a "source" for claims made in more recent articles. You almost never see sources to external sites or resources, its just internal site links all the way down.

Many news sites will do this to keep you on-site instead of bouncing elsewhere.

  But its still common to have links to outside sites and resources within a given article, which you just don't see on these more "alternative" news sites.
