Newcaster Suspended Over Affair

by Eliza Ferree

Mirthala Salinas

Newscaster Mirthala Salinas for Channel 52-KVEA-TV, was suspended for two months without pay after getting caught having an affair. Why was this bad? Besides the fact it was with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa she also filmed segments of the news while they were dating. This made the network lose credibility. She wasn’t the only one that got in trouble either, co-workers that knew about the affair were put on suspension as well.

No one knows just how long the two were involved but it looks to date back around 2005, which is a long time, especially for someone that was constantly interviewing the Mayor. This past April she was given the role as temporary news anchor and she got to report on all things, including that the Mayor and his wife were splitting up after 20 years. Ikkk, does look funny when it is the other lady reporting it.

Salinas hasn’t made any comments towards what is going on. However, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told the LA Times:

“I regret that decisions I have made in my personal life have been a distraction for the city, and I am deeply sorry that I have let so many people down, especially my family.”
