You could train her to stop barking on command. I did that with Tibbe and he considers obeying commands a big win for him as he gets a mini Milk Bone or kibble treat and hardy, heartfelt, big-time praise , both of which he's been trained to highly value. We're both equally proud of him when he quits blessing out something once I give him the 'quiet' command/hand gesture as he reaps his rewards! He just bristles with pride in his big win and kind of struts around to say 'see what I just did'!

You could say 'uh oh' and immediately turn off the TV every time she begins to bark at anything on the screen. You could say 'uh oh' and automatically remove her from the room the moment she begins barking, taking her to another room and shutting her in the room. Either way, if you are absolutely faithful and don't let a single bark go by without instant action, after a couple of weeks of this, never missing a single barking session, she will get the message that her barking brings unwanted consequences and begin to restrain herself, as dogs can stop barking anytime they wish.
