Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan renews his feud with Fox News, says he'll never work with the Fox network again

  • Levitan was among several prominent TV producers who criticized Fox News' coverage of immigrant separation crisis in June. Now he's renewing his criticisms in wake of Fox News' coverage of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and last week's pipe bomb scare. “By espousing unfounded conspiracy theories and justifying Trump’s reprehensible statements and actions, Fox News fuels our country’s divisiveness,” Levitan told Variety. “I sincerely hope Lachlan Murdoch recognizes the damage this is doing and finally brings sound journalistic ethics and standards to his network before more unhinged people are riled up to send bombs and shoot up churches and synagogues.” Levitan says he plans not to work with any Rupert Murdoch-owned property again.
