The more we think we're not affected by media - stereotypes, advertising - the more potential those forms of media have.

I don't know how women will feel safe.

We don't have media literacy in America in any kind of substantive way. If we did, I think that (A) more of us would've recognized the threat that Trump posed from the beginning, and (B) no one would have been surprised at the bigotry that was in the DNA of his campaign.

Trump is a very specific case. It's really gonna be hard to replicate that.

Donald Trump winning the electoral vote - I don't even want to say he won the election because Hillary Clinton won the popular vote - I don't think legitimizes reality TV, but I think reality TV legitimized Trump.

This notion that you hear from his surrogates and his fans throughout the campaign - "Trump tells it like it is; he's a straight shooter" - that through line comes in large part because this is a man who was welcomed into people's living rooms every week for nearly a decade.

Do I think reality TV is going to be a path to politics in a significant way? Eh, I don't know. Trump is a very specific case. It's really gonna be hard to replicate that.
