The list seems to be inaccurate. Unless something has changed, the Washington Post and New York Times don't use Django for their main website (which the article implies), but for certain projects. The same seems to apply to the Guardian: http://davidbliss.com/2010/09/03/sites-built-using-django/. That link actually provides details.
Django is wonderful, but several of those sites don't use Django for their main website. That doesn't mean Django isn't good, but when one starts citing traffic numbers for the main non-Django-powered site, it's simply misleading.
