Logan Director James Mangold Calls for Fox News Boycott Following Riots
James Mangold, the director of movies like Logan, Ford vs. Ferrari, and Walk the Line, is speaking out in the wake of yesterday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol. In a series of tweets, he called on fellow producers and directors to boycott Fox News.
“Watching lawlessness in our capital–thugs supporting a coup–& deeply saddened,” Mangold wrote in a tweet. “The Murdochs have inflicted so much racism, sexism, and virulent lies & damage to our nation.”
Mangold wants movie makers to deprive the Fox News Network not just of appearances, but ads too. “Fellow content makers, we must cancel appearances on Fox & use our power to keep ads 4 our shows off Fox,” he continued.
