NPR’s “Fresh Air” fired film critic David Edelstein after he made a joke about a controversial sex scene in “Last Tango in Paris” on his Facebook page Monday following the death of director Bernardo Bertolucci.
“Fresh Air” said a statement to The Hill on Tuesday that the post was “offensive and unacceptable” because of the experience of the actress involved.
“We appreciate the apology David posted, but we have decided to end Fresh Air’s association with him, and have informed David accordingly,” the statement read.
