James Mangold Urges Hollywood To Boycott Fox Amid U S Capitol Attack

“Watching lawlessness in our capitol — thugs supporting a coup — & deeply saddened,” Mangold wrote on Twitter. “The Murdochs have inflicted so much racism, sexism, virulent lies & damage to our nation. Fellow content makers, we must cancel appearances on Fox & use our power to keep ads for our shows off Fox.”

Mangold noted that Fox News “created this president and supports his enablers,” and thus Hollywood must stop marketing its content with the news giant. Documentary legend Ken Burns wrote the following statement in reaction to the insurrectionists at the Capitol: “This is a coup against the United States of America, incited by Donald Trump. He should be impeached by the House as soon as possible and convicted and removed by the Senate just as quickly. This is not us, the U.S.” Mark Ruffalo also referred to the attack as a coup, adding, “Imagine if this was our side. There would be rivers of our blood in the streets and not a single one of us would be armed. This has been allowed.” Michael Moore echoed Ruffalo’s thoughts, writing, “Mob of traitors has stormed the Capitol building—broken through the police and are now inside by the doors of the Senate chambers. Police overwhelmed. One was just hit and carried away. WHERE IS THE NATIONAL GUARD? WHERE ARE THE RUBBER BULLETS? WHY IS THIS MOB NOT BEING ARRESTED?” For updates on the U.S. Capitol attack, head over to IndieWire’s news article.
