NEW YORK (AP) - Former Fox News entertainment writer Roger Friedman is suing his old bosses for more than $5 million after he was fired for reviewing a leaked copy of Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
Friedman is seeking damages for libel and legal fees in a suit that names Fox as well as News Corp. and its chairman, Rupert Murdoch, as defendants.
He is accusing Fox of violating his contract with the firing, which came after his April 2 review of "Wolverine" appeared on Fox's Web site. Friedman wrote the piece based on a version he found on the Internet before its official release.
