Nothing new in that but I was pretty outraged and immediately lost faith in HitWise. There is no way the Telegraph can be number 1 I thought and promptly checked the numbers when I got to work. As an old boss of mine once said, if a number is interesting it is usually wrong. Thanks for the links Martin.
