Fox News Fire Columnist Over Illegal Wolverine Download

X-Men Origins Wolverine

A writer at the Fox news website is out of a job after posting an online review of an illegally downloaded copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Roger Friedman wrote in his column on Thursday that downloading the 20th Century Fox film was “so much easier than going out in the rain”.

Fox News said that the company’s representatives and Friedman “mutually agreed to part ways immediately”.

It said that Friedman’s behaviour was “reprehensible” and that it “condemned this act categorically”.
