How about an example? In the 60's, antiwar marches and protests were huge AND in the news all the time. Mainstream media followed every large anti-war march. Republicans at that time said that, if the media didn't pay any attention to the anti-war protestors, the protestors would stop. You may have noticed that the anti-Iraq war marches and protests get little, if not zilch, of coverage in the mainstream media. It's one of those old methods that just doesn't work anymore. If we don't learn from our mistakes, we're doomed. It's not about whose generation is better; it's about experience. I think we waste alot of time organizing marches, events, etc. when he could be working on more constructive things.
