    Borat interview deception

    Sacha Baron Cohen appeared on WAPT in character as Borat after the station was told that the interview was for a Bulgarian television documentary. The encounter was secretly recorded for the film Borat. WAPT producer Dharma Arthur later publicly described professional harm connected with the segment, although accounts differed on whether she had been fired or had resigned.
