Blogstorm themselves use the nofollow, so not much link love given by them either, perhaps we should all, use nofollow and get back to intranets and passwords

Indeed. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. But I also think that if pagerank became an issue, journalists would be forced to think harder about who they link to. In theory at least. One thing that worries me is these auto-linking plugins like Open Calais and Zemanta which generally suggest Wikipedia, etc. links leading to a narrowing of linking.

The BBC would land itself in more trouble if it did pass the pagerank from its news links. Think of the opportunities to 'game' BBC journalism for a juicy link on a news story. Better they use links for real users to follow, as they do now, and leave the search engine gaming to the commercial sites.
