  Um "Media activists have to learn to work with like-minded members of the corporate media" Can I be the first say F*** that! The corporate media are the problem, we need to create a new system and not allow ourselves, our movement to be coopted and/or colonized by commercial interests.

Basically economic equality should be the main goal, but we should also work to support other movements as well. As a poor, black, gay man what he wants most, he might tell you health care.
