I work for Fox News as a commentator. I say whatever I want. I'm the blonde on the left, figuratively and literally - the one who's usually smiling because it's T.V., not the Supreme Court or Congress, and I find civility more effective in any event.
The question for me was, could TV actually teach? I knew it could, because I knew 3-year-olds who sang beer commercials!
I am not good at dealing with the modern media. I have not felt I have been as effective as I should be.
I can talk to more persuadable voters in a week on 'The Five' than I could at CNN in a year, so it's worked out fine.
I don't know if I trust entertainment to teach anyone anything.
I think that in the realm of commercial, popcorn cinema, the amount of message or smuggling of ideas you can get in there is quite limited. Like, if you think you're going to make a difference or change anything, you're on pretty dangerous thin ice.
The media's about to become a lot more effective.
You can get an awful lot of effects into the customer's mind for a great deal less time and money in radio than you can in television.
