Career
Kramer has collected many awards for her electronic journalism at the station and at the New York Daily News newspaper. At the Daily News, she was a staff reporter before she was appointed the paper"s first woman bureau chief in City Hall and Albany. Kramer joined WCBS-television in 1990 during a labor disruption at the tabloid.
During the 1992 New York presidential primary, she asked then-candidate Bill Clinton the question about his past marijuana use which prompted his response that he had smoked the drug while in college "but did not inhale."
In October 2000, during a New York State Senate debate, Kramer asked candidates Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio what they thought of "Federal Bill 602-P." Kramer described the bill as a proposal to implement a tax on internet email messages.
As part of a promotion by the station, the question had been sent in by a listener but the screeners reviewing the questions, Kramer and the candidates were all unaware that the "tax" was actually an internet hoax. The station quickly issued a statement correcting the error.
