10-15 thousand people took yesterday's march seriously

You equate a few of those cute anarchist kids with the thousands of folks who showed up yesterday and marched peacefully.
You have no proof that "fewer and fewer people take marches seriously anymore." You just pulled that out of your ass.
As far as the media coverage? 10-15 thousand people marched peacefully yesterday. They filled downtown with good cheer and hopes for a better world. What did the local stations lead with? A handful (less than 15) anarchist kids who wanted to raise hell.
Why? because violence trumps everything.
News directors have a knee-jerk reaction to it. What was yesterday's story? A huge turnout for a 5 hour demonstration? Or a couple of kids and 20 minutes of ruckus?
TV news has NO journalistic credibility. None. If it ever did.
