39. A march alone never changed a thing
Marches don't change peoples' minds unless there is some utterly ridiculous establishment response to the march (like the use of pit bulls and police violence against civil rights marchers) otherwise marches just end up being large-scale ego trips to make activists think that they are actually doing something worthwhile without actually doing anything.

The best way to protest the corporate media is to ignore it. Don't watch. Encourage others not to watch. Frequent non-corporate forms of media. Create your own media.
