Consider the following extended argument:

The Albany Movement didn't get favorable national media coverage because the Associated Press releases treated the incident like a game. After all, the Associated Press releases generally treated the incident like a game, since most of the Associated Press releases we sampled did. And I think the initial Associated Press release treated the incident like a game because they didn't want the general public to think about the issues. For right after the incident was over, it declared King the loser, the Albany city government the winner, and said it was "sour grapes to criticize the agreement."
