These are good points. The takeaway is that civil disobedience faces hurdles today that it didn't face in the past. I still think, however, that it can be a useful tool in the fight for a more fair and equitable system.
Some of these hurdles can be overcome. (For example, you're right that the media will lie about the protest, but on the other hand, everyone now has the ability to record events with the phone in their pocket.
I never meant to imply that civil disobedience is the only tool at our disposal. My point is more that, if we can't even get people to do that much, then all this talk of organized violent action is just lip service.
