Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan quits network over Fox News coverage of immigration issues

The creator of Modern Family says he will not work with Fox in the future because of the station’s conservative news operation, which has voiced support for the seperation of migrant children from their parents.

Co-creator Steve Levitan said he will see his hit show through to the end but then will not work with Fox again.

“I have no problem with fact-based conservatism,” he said, citing the Wall Street Journal, but said Fox News’ “23-hour-a-day support of the NRA, conspiracy theories and Trump’s lies gets harder to swallow every day as I drive onto that lot to make a show about inclusion.”

Fox Studio has been a wonderful home for most of my career – so many amazing people there who share the concerns about @FoxNews but aren’t in the position to speak out.

I have no problem with fact-based conservatism (such as WSJ), but @FoxNew’s 23-hour-a-day support of the NRA, conspiracy theories and Trump’s lies gets harder to swallow every day as I drive onto that lot to make a show about inclusion.

I look forward to seeing #ModernFamily through to the end and then, sale or no sale, setting up shop elsewhere.
