    If they're that disgusted and embarrassed to work for this network... they could sell their shows to a different network. Given the popularity of those shows, they might even be able to get a better deal from another network, which would be happy to poach a popular show.

    Wins all around! They don't even have to put their money where their mouth is.

      They also conveniently waited to voice their supposed disgust right before Fox Entertainment gets sold to a different company. If they were so upset about the Fox news division, why didn't they say something a year ago? It reminds me of all the Hollywood people who were "shocked and disgusted" when the truth about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, etc., was finally reported on, even though most of them knew for a long time what was going on.

        Yeah it's definitely highly questionable. I would say there's an argument to be had about the fear of being blacklisted or other similar concerns, but it certainly seems like Seth MacFarlane is on a level that should put him far ahead of such concerns (and has been for years).

          Steve Levitan is no lightweight, either.

      Yeah, both shows have been on for a while, and it's not like Fox News' style has fundamentally changed. Funny how it's easy to be "disgusted" and embarrassed to pull into the lot, but not enough...

      Funny how it's easy to be "disgusted" and embarrassed to pull into the lot, but not enough to stop cashing the checks.
