My answer to her is that the web will see information of all kinds distributed more widely than ever before in human history. Witness the tea parties that have gone viral in less than one week’s time. The Drive-Bys don’t even know it’s going on.
As part of the Old Media, she’s miffed that they’re losing the ability to tell us what is and isn’t news.
Those that do are looking to bury it deep so it looks like a couple of crackpots.
Neal Boortz was talking about a FairTax rally he was at with thousands of people. On a nearby corner there were a dozen people protesting the war in Iraq. The war protesters made the news while thousands rallying against the current tax code might as well have not happened at all in the MSM's view.

The drive-bys pretended to not know who "Joe the Plumber" was during the debate as well.
He'd been discussed on Rush Limbaugh's radio show and other programs earlier in the week. There were tens of millions in America who knew who he was.
The media then set out (with shadow government Democrats in public service jobs) to dig up dirt (illegally) on "Joe" rather than address the issue of Obama's marxist plan or why the media didn't cover it earlier.
There were some who tried to spin in (in the immediate hours after the debate) that Joe the Plumber was a fictional person, like "Joe Sixpack" or the people that Biden called his "good friend".
I bet they do.
