By "hacking", I assume you mean it in the same sense as RMS would -- that of taking a process or a collection of information and transforming it into a new, and hopefully more useful form.
If that is the case, then I think this is already being done, albeit in a less than perfect way. What do you think the "new media" outlets of Slashdot, NewsForge and Groklaw are?
Of course, every form of "media" has its own biases, but at least the process is Open here, and people can make their own contributions, regardless of who likes them or not.
