Seth McFarlane: Fox News makes me 'embarrassed' to work for this company

Comedian Seth MacFarlane blasted Fox News and network host Tucker Carlson on Twitter Saturday, saying remarks made by Carlson made him embarrassed to work for the Fox network.

MacFarlane, whose television show “The Orville” airs on Fox, was responding to CNN media correspondent, Brian Stelter, who criticized Carlson for telling his viewers to “assume the opposite” of what other news media are reporting.

“In other words, don’t think critically, don’t consult multiple news sources, and in general, don’t use your brain,” MacFarlane said.

“This is fringe shit, and it’s business like this that makes me embarrassed to work for this company,” he added.

like the cable network. Even the local news on FOX seems about as balanced as you get, at least where I live.

I'm fine with someone like Mcfarlane making money on FOX while he criticizes them. Never seen his show, nor want to, so I assume it's not some new aged Archie Bunker without Meathead and others to counter the racism and hatred.

Legitimate people, groups, organizations or churches should not fear that their message is strong.
