10/2 - How to Communicate Today in the U.S.: Read the Drudge Report
If the conclusion of the "Turning the Tide" report is correct (that ocean conservationists are much better and more comfortable with policy than politics), and you want to change things, then one part of the solution is to start reading the Drudge Report. As I do, all the time. Yes, it is full of the worst crap in our society, but that's the whole problem with ocean conservationists. They tend to avoid conflict, turn their heads away from all that is unpleasant, and believe that if we just love the oceans hard enough they will heal themselves.
Anyhow, if you have any doubts about the importance of The Drudge Report in American politics today, here's an article today from ABC News telling you that you shouldn't. It's real. Drudge is a driving force in our society. For better (doubtful) or worse (or much worse).
