Telemundo Newscaster Mirthala Salinas Suspended for Two Months Over Affair With L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
08/03/07
LOS ANGELES — A Spanish-language newscaster who had an affair with the mayor of Los Angeles has been suspended from her job for two months for violating conflict-of-interest policies, her network said Thursday...
"...Her reading of copy during newscasts ... regarding the Mayor's separation from his wife was a flagrant violation of these guidelines," network president Don Browne wrote in a memo to employees.
And, from Villaraigosa,
"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," Villaraigosa said in a statement. "Now that Telemundos internal review has reached a conclusion, it is my hope that we can all move forward."
That should do it. Both sides have acknowledged the wrongness of the thing, which is what's needed in these situations for society to continue with some order, which is, in turn, the only reason we should concern ourselves at all with these matters.
Like the mayor said, let's move forward; we needn't mention it again.
