Time overlooks citizen media sites

Good point from John at open parenthesis about Time's Person of the Year story, published yesterday:

Where were the links to places like OurMedia, NewAssignment, The Independent Media Center, and the Center for Citizen Media?

What happened to the many seizing power from the few? Is it expecting too much from a mainstream media story about user contributed content that it would point the way towards something better than just America’s Funniest Videos without a decent editor?
