Television is so influential that when an audience sees you day-in and day-out there’s a certain acceptance that sets in; you’re no longer a threatening personality. They become more willing to accept whatever you present.
Meaning of the quote
Television has a strong influence on people. When they see the same person on TV every day, they start to feel comfortable with that person. They no longer see the person as someone scary or threatening. This makes the audience more open to believing or accepting whatever that person says or shows them on TV.
