It looks like Librarian Gorman isn't the only one upset that the little people have voices now - just look at Tina Brown moan:

We are in the Eggshell Era, in which everyone has to tiptoe around because there's a world of busybodies out there who are being paid to catch you out -- and a public that is slowly being trained to accept a culture of finks. We're always under surveillance; cameras watch us wherever we go; paparazzi make small fortunes snapping glamour goddesses picking their noses; everything is on tape, with transcripts available. No matter who you are, someone is ready and willing to rat you out. Even the rats themselves have to look over their shoulders, because some smaller rat is always waiting in the wings. Bloggers are the new Stasi. All the timidity this engenders, all this watching your mouth has started to feel positively un-American.

That's right - the media actually has to pay attention to facts, or they'll get caught out. Oh, the horror. Time to put on ashes and sackcloth for sure - it's just too hard! The condescension in that piece is amazing - she's not even trying to obscure how little she thinks of the great unwashed masses. Here's a tip Tina - if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. Unlike most of use bloggers, you get paid for the stuff you write - so spend some actual time on it.

Oh, here's a tip for you - I found a definition of the word "fact". It looks like you aren't really sure what a fact is, so I thought I'd help.
