Foxnews.com entertainment writer Roger Friedman was fired for reviewing a pirated copy of the 20th Century Fox film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which has been leaked on the Internet, the New York Times reports. The report confirms an earlier post by DeadlineHollywoodDaily, which noted that Friedman’s “Wolverine” review was deleted by Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes after he was contacted by 20th execs.
