The Co-Creator Of "Modern Family" Says He May Leave Fox In Protest Against Fox News
https://www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/krystieyandoli/modern-family-fox-news-trump-immigrationSteve Levitan, one of the co-creators of Modern Family, said that he plans on parting ways with production company 20th Century Fox in protest against Fox News and their coverage of Donald Trump's immigration policies.
“I look forward to seeing #ModernFamily through to the end and then, sale or no sale, setting up shop elsewhere,” Levitan tweeted Tuesday afternoon. (Although Modern Family airs on ABC, it is produced bbggy 20th Century Fox.)
Levitan sent out a series of tweets Monday night and Tuesday afternoon after Judd Apatow called for Fox employees and showrunners to speak up about the news division’s coverage of Trump's controversial immigration policies. (Both Fox News and 20th Century Fox are part of the 21st Century Fox media empire.)
Since April, at least 1,995 immigrant children have been separated from their parents and families because of the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy. Trump has incorrectly stated that the policy was created by Democrats, and members of both political parties have condemned the policy.
