Fox captures CNN reporter in Afghanistan

Fox News Channel has nabbed a veteran CNN correspondent who has been covering the Northern Alliance operations against the Taliban from Afghanistan. Steve Harrigan’s contract had expired in May, and he had reportedly been working on a day-to-day basis since. In an interview with the Associated Press, Fox News Channel chief Roger Ailes said that CNN had been “asleep at the switch” by neglecting to resign Harrigan. “It’s a competitive world out there, and it’s very important that we have someone in Afghanistan,” Ailes told AP. “He just happened to work at CNN 24 hours ago.”
