Fox News’ Steve Harrigan: America’s Laziest War Correspondent
John Cook — Fox News' Steve Harrigan: America's Laziest War CorrespondentSteve Harrigan, the Fox News correspondent currently engaged in war of words with CNN's Nic Robertson while they both cover a war of bombs in Libya, is just as lazy as Robertson says, according to someone who's worked with him.
Robertson and Harrigan's feud started when Harrigan's colleague Jennifer Griffin reported that Qaddafi had fooled Robertson and other reporters into acting as human shields by inviting them on a reporting trip to his palace. Robertson shot back that a Fox News security guard, equipped with a camera, was in fact on the same trip (which we found odd) and that Harrigan is a lazy reporter who he sees "more times at breakfast than out on trips." Harrigan responded today that he has to stay hotel-bound because he needs to be on the air so much and that Robertson is "dull" and "has a screw loose."
According to one person who worked with Harrigan, Robertson is right. Sacha Feinman, a writer who used to live in Caracas, Venezuela, told Gawker that he was hired to as Harrigan's fixer during a reporting trip there in 2006, and he found Harrigan to be "the most noxious, laziest reporter I've ever met." Feinman says Harrigan was there to do an anti-Chavez hit piece, and showed no interest in anything else.
