It looks like you're just checking the front page.  As I recall, the
Digg issue was in one of its frames.  Instead of seeing what I was
supposed to see, I saw a script tag and a bunch of JavaScript.  On the
United site, it was something that cropped up while I was booking a
flight.

I recommend the experiment I mentioned, compiling a browser without
content sniffing and actually trying to use the web for a reasonable
amount of time.  I tried this a while ago, so it's possible the sites
have changed in the intervening months.
