Consider the following extended argument:

Think about it. The Albany Movement generally didn't get favorable national media coverage, and it failed. So, Reverend King's campaign in Birmingham probably failed, too. Because it generally didn't get favorable national media coverage. And, believe me, the Albany Movement generally didn't get favorable national media coverage. One commentary claimed the Albany Movement did not bring down a single racial barrier. Another declared that the Albany Movement "failed to achieve any of its stated goals." In fact, all of the newspaper and magazine coverage we found on the Albany Movement wasn't favorable.

In fact, when you think about, the Albany and Birmingham failures probably were because of King's inexperience with the media. King's political campaignments were more successful after he gained experience with the Media.
