Steve Levitan, co-creator of Modern Family, which is produced by 20th Century Fox TV, wants to make it clear that he does not support another arm of Fox’s business. On Twitter, Levitan said he was “disgusted to work at a company that has anything whatsoever to do with” Fox News, quote-tweeting a description of Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s defense of Trump’s child detention centers as “summer camps” or “boarding schools.” “This bullshit is the opposite of what Modern Family stands for,” he added.
Let me officially join in saying I’m disgusted to work at a company that has anything whatsoever to do with . This bullshit is the opposite of what stands for.

I haven’t worked with Fox since 2002. That family promotes evil ideas and greed and corruption. We all choose who to work with. I understand why that is easier for some than others but many powerful people are powerful enough to speak up to their bosses at a moment like this.
Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) June 18, 2018I have made two films for 20th Century Fox and love the people in the movie and TV divisions. But I too cannot condone the support their news division promotes toward the immoral and abusive policies and actions taken by this current administration toward immigrant children.
