Whilst less shameful than their recent programme about the mind-mangling electronic smog seeping out of our wireless routers, this week's Panorama wasn't exactly falling over itself to set the bar at a new high in terms of objective investigation and informed analysis.
It was the second serious attack the BBC news division has launched on Liveleak this summer and far be it from me to question their editorial motives...
The way they dissed the community moderation of YouTube would no doubt have given Andrew Keen cause to re-adjust his seating position.
Meanwhile Confused of Calcutta's fascinating posts this week on Facebook and the Enterprise have clearly restated the principle by which we should judge all attempts to curb those technologies that, at the extreme end at least, appear to have run ahead of law and common propriety: "We should not assume that irresponsible behaviour by a few justifies punishment of the many."
