MacFarlane: Some media exaggerate political correctness

NEW YORK (AP) — “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane dismisses the notion that comedy has become more politically correct these days.

Instead, he blames some members of the press for exaggerating the situation.

“They are screaming that everyone else is angry when they’re not,” he said.

He added: “This is the only thing I agree with my Republican friends on.”

MacFarlane feels there’s a big disconnect from the perception that the media creates and the way people actually think.

He should know, the writer-actor has covered edgy topics for years and has amassed a large fan base for both ‘Family Guy’ and his comedy films.

“Most people are capable of deciphering comedic situations from actual offenses,” he said.

MacFarlane made the comments Wednesday at the world premiere of his new movie, “Ted 2.”
