NY Anchorman Resigns After Calling Live Show Under False Name
NewsBusters ^ | Nov 19, 2007 | Warner Todd Huston

Gary Anthony Ramsay, an anchorman for NY1 News, has resigned this week over his efforts to damage Rudy Giuliani's bid for the White House by commenting on the Bernard Kerik situation under a false name on the air. It appears that Ramsay called into an episode of the station's call-in show "The Call" and claimed his name was "Dalton from the Upper East Side" before going off on his rant against Giuliani associate Kerik. Looks like Mr. Ramsay couldn't keep his journalistic integrity in force long enough to give his own name and stand by his own opinion and it has cost him his TV job.

Of his lack of journalistic ethics here, Ramsay said:

“I am continually apologetic for smudging that journalistic line, but I’m a human being, and I’m subject to the same frailties,” Mr. Ramsay said.

What a loser!

I bet he’ll be working for pay on Clinton’s campaign before the end of this week.

I believe that the term “journalistic integrity” should be added to the list of oxymorons when it is utilized with reference to MSM “journalists”.

Dear Gary,

Thank you for trying.

I actually don’t see a problem with him calling in under an assumed name.

You aren’t performing “journalism” when calling into a show to give opinions. My problem is with their willingness to give opinions as news during their news shows.

Oh, yes you DID! And it was damned funny too. Probably because it's so freaking close to the truth.

Since the 1970’s the U.S. news media has become a partisan political apparatus. Today’s “journalists” are political activists. This jackass can’t listen to a 30 minute program without inserting his opinion under a false identity.

Will his call qualify for an Emmy, or a Pulitzer prize? He may even be nominated for a Nobel Prize for literature or something. The way this a$$clown works, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit! I mean, after all, HE IS A MINORITY and should be lauded on figuring out how to dial a telephone. Where’s Al and Jesse when you really need them?
