Who said anything about the media? This is New York City, where there are, on any randomly chosen street corner, thousands of passers by. There aren't many places in this de-urbanized country where you can address so many people just by gathering on a corner. So if people walking through midtown - bankers, secretaries, messengers - see a group of people saying "burn your fucking banks!" they will certainly be alarmed. They won't have to wait for the 11 o'clock news.
