AN NY1 REPORTER called in to a talk show on his own station and asked a question. Except rather than using his own name - Gary Ramsey, he posed as "Dalton from the Upper East Side."
And now he is unemployed.
The topic was Bernie Kerik, the former NYC police chief who is currently facing federal indictment charges. Ramsey, posing as Dalton, came down hard on those who were giving Kerik a perceived easy ride in the press.
What if Ramsey had used his real name and asked questions? Would it then have been good journalism rather than deception?
