Somewhat off-topic, Little Green Footballs had a run-in with Reuters, so they modified their site meter to record visits from Reuters... they had four online when I looked a few minutes ago.
Even that one looks a bit suspicious to me.It looks like 'smudge tool' use in evidence that might have been used to cover up the rubber stamp cloning.
