True. That is to say, it is what happens in contemporary capitalist societies that consider themselves to be democratic.
However, just like widespread corruption in the legal system would not make corruption just, the fact that contemporary democracy most often turns out this way, does not make this aspect of the system itself democratic.
This woman is confusing the flaws of democracy for the essence of democracy. Which is especially painful to notice considering that she works for Google, a search engine that has tried to use a fairly democratic system (pagerank) to determine search results.
