The giggle-snorts just won’t stop! The leftist hacks at ThinkProgress totally walked right into a hilarious pit of mockery today, when its Twitter feed announced that browsers were identifying the site as containing malware.
We are aware browsers have flagged ThinkProgress as containing "malware." We are investigating and hope to have it resolved soon.

The mockery was swift and knee-slap funny.

Malware detected at @thinkprogress has jumped the computer / human barrier and is leading to diminished brain function among readers.

Heh. Self-awareness isn’t a strong suit of anyone at ThinkProgress. Bless their hearts.
An update was issued:
UPDATE: We've identified the source of problem w/our site, which was a link in a post from 2 yrs ago. Now waiting on @Google to re-scan.

And a kind Twitter user fixed it, being a giver and all.
MT @thinkprogress UPDATE: We've identified the source of problem w/our site, which is the content.
