Hmm...Xenu?

What do Wolverine, Fox, and Scientology have in common?

I’m not sure but the story coming out about that infamous Roger Friedman that found himself fired from his job working at Fox for reviewing a leaked copy of the Wolverine movie. Now, Roger is blaming Xenu and his Space Church for his so called wrongful firing.

Taken from the link above,

((Friedman is convinced that was a cover story. Last August, Friedman went to Memphis for the funeral of his friend and R&B legend Isaac Hayes, who was a Scientologist. Preston was also in town for the funeral. Friedman, who now writes for The Hollywood Reporter, tells us that when Preston saw him at the Peabody Hotel, Mrs. John Travolta loudly blasted him for his columns criticizing Scientology. ))

While I’d like to blame the Church of Tom for everything, I can’t see the connection here. The South Park thing really did happen, but this is bit of a stretch because Friedman did review a leaked copy of the movie. And, this would piss off some higher ups.

But, knowing how hard the Church goes after people that talk badly about it, this could have happened. But the leaked movie can get him fired.

Another thing in the post got my attention.

((Murdoch is reported to have bristled a few years back when Scientologists tried to recruit his son Lachlan. But Garbus said, “I’ve seen how Scientology intimidates even the most powerful media. That seems to be what happened here.”))

Since Murdoch is such a bull-headed guy, I do find it odd that his FOX News or other media companies haven't gone after the Space Church as fiercely as some of their Left Wing enemies. Is Murdoch scared of Tom Cruise?

Side Note: Is France going to ban the Church?
