Seth MacFarlane Hates Fox: But Will He Give Their Money Back?

Seth MacFarlane Tucker Carlson

Here we go again with yet another celebrity whining about Fox News.  Here’s the headline from HuffPost:

Seth MacFarlane Rips Fox Over Tucker Carlson, Wants ‘Family Guy’ On ‘Any Other Network’
“This marriage isn’t working anymore.”

The story reports that MacFarlane tweeted this:

“Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network. Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working anymore. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.”

Since MacFarlane’s tweet was dated August 1st – a Sunday, when Tucker is not on the air – one assumes that the reference is to Tucker’s last show of the previous week. In which Tucker focused on the fact – say again the fact – that people who have gotten vaccinated have later gotten Covid. Again, that is fact.

Recall that when the vaccine first appeared, Americans were assured that they would not get Covid if they got vaccinated. To refresh, here is a typical example of the point, this one that appeared in a Washington Post Op-Ed in a piece written by Dr. Leana Wen, a medical analyst for CNN. Dr. Wen was disturbed at the sight of a then-recent Biden address to Congress, in which the vaccinated Biden was masked, as were Speaker Pelosi and Vice President Harris and many Members of Congress.  Dr. Wen’s headline was this:

“With masks and distancing, Biden’s speech sent the wrong message about the power of our vaccines.”

She wrote:

“With his speech before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night, President Biden missed his biggest opportunity to reduce vaccine hesitancy.

…If I didn’t know better, I would have thought this was six months ago, before Americans had access to safe, highly effective vaccines.

…Imagine if Wednesday’s joint session had required that all attendees be fully vaccinated. Those who were not vaccinated were not welcome. But those permitted in could walk into the room, take off their mask, sit next to one another, and listen to a presidential address — just as they did in 2019.

The science shows that could have been done. It would have sent an unequivocal message that vaccines are safe, effective and the key to ending the pandemic. Instead, the American people got a different message, one that could impede the nation’s vaccine progress at a time when we can least afford it.”

Got that, Seth? There was a prominent doctor, a CNN medical analyst no less, assuring one and all that the “unequivocal message” is “that vaccines are safe, effective and the key to ending the pandemic.”

Tucker Carlson’s sin was to point out what is now blatantly obvious. He pointed to a statement released that day by the CDC that admitted that, yes indeed, it was possible for vaccinated people to still catch Covid. Apparently, citing the CDC was too much for MacFarlane. Hence his hissy fit.

So the question? Since MacFarlane is so upset with Fox for airing the truth-telling Tucker Carlson – will he give back all that Fox money that was paid to him? After all, if he feels the network is so terrible and a dangerous blight on humanity, why keep all the millions Fox has paid him for The Family Guy?

In reality, what we have here is yet another whiny Hollywood-style lefty who can’t abide intellectual diversity and, unable to silence Tucker Carlson, he wants to pick up his toys and go home.

But not to worry. He’ll keep all those Fox millions.

To which the right response is: Bye Seth.

Give back the money, maybe?
