14. But the media did cover their marches and protests in the past.
Times have changed. The media is hopeless. They are all compromised.

I've done plenty of marching and protesting, and was proud to do so. I was arrested at the Pentagon in 1967, and marched in every major anti-war protest during the Vietnam War. I spent 5 days in the streets of San Francisco at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq. I even marched against the first gulf war in the 90s.

The only point I can see to march is to call attention to your cause. If the media ignores you, then what is the fucking point?
