I was asked to fill in on the 5 and 6am broadcasts on a temporary basis after the departure of our friend Emmett Miller in October. We thought it would last a month or two. Its now March.
Buckley will continue appearing on the newscast between 7 and 10 a.m.
Schauble has been anchoring KNBCs weekend evening newscasts and working as a reporter throughout the week.
I met Chris last year at the Los Angeles Marathon Expo at Dodger Stadium. The Expo will be coming up next week and will look out for him there. I do know he is running the marathon this year.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: Ana Garcia Spurned Reporter?
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Ana Garcia KNBC Television Reporter

Flap reported previously on the confrontation of KNBC Channel 4 television reporter Ana Garcia and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa last Friday. She asks the Mayor directly to supply his public records which were requested by Garcia and KNBC News weeks ago and which have been blocked by his attorneys.
Now, remember it was Ana Garcia (who previously was Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo’s communication director) who reported a piece for KNBC when the Villar-Salinas scandal first broke. KNBC is owned by the parent company NBC Universal who also owns Telemundo where Mirthala Salinas is a suspended reporter.
Ana Garcia’s first piece is here.
If you recall the first piece was regarding the Mayor shacking up with Mirthala in her Valley condominium prior to Rosa Park’s funeral. In fact, he stayed so long that he had to fly to the funeral via a private jet paid for by a major campaign contributor and former employer, Ameriquest Corporation. Ana Garcia and KNBC requested the Mayor’s calendar and public papers, including e-mails from his Blackberry during this time.
Mirthala Salinas’ condominium in Studio City according to KNBC
The Mayor’s stonewalling and unwillingness to forward KNBC his papers and e-mails set up Friday’s confrontation.The conventional wisdom initially (at the time of the first Ana Garcia piece) was that KNBC was overcompensating for the fact that “EVERYONE” at KNBC Channel 4 knew Mirthala Salinas (next door at Telemundo) was having an affair with the Los Angeles Mayor. They ignored the story and looked the other way. Now with the scandal breaking they must appear to be an impartial AND ethical news organization – which everyone knows they are NOT.Flap surmised that would be the last peep out of KNBC television and Ana Garcia until last Friday
So, why the continuing FLAP?
It cannot be the Mayor shopping for shoes with Mirthala or the release of his e-mails.
ERSNews says it is because Ana Garcia was SPURNED by the Mayor?
Professionally spurned or does ERSNews know something that they can only report in code?
Ana Garcia is incensed with regards to Mayor Villaraigosa in some way. Could it be the pursuit of the truth? Is she a friend of or supportive of the Mayor’s wife, Corina? Does she just think the Mayor is a liar and a cheating bastard?
Or is there something else?
Update:
In an email from Eric Longabardi of ERSNews.com he says Garcia has her first piece wrong:
1. The photo of Mirthala Salinas’ condominium is incorrect
2. Mayor Villaraigosa left Los Angeles for Detroit and Rosa Park’s funeral after midnight and NOT 11:20 or 11:30 PM, according to FAA records which are different than the Mayor’s schedule.
Now, Flap has to ask: Why aren’t Garcia and KNBC checking their facts? Is this why they want the Mayor’s records and e-mails? Or is it sloppy on purpose?

Screenshot from KNBC Video where Mayor attempts to avoid reporter Ana Garcia
Is the Mayor attending fewer public events?
And why not? He will be dogged with questions about his affair with Mirthala Salinas until he supplies the records requested by KNBC and comes clean about the long time affair.
Of course, this will affect his divorce case with wife, Corina.
Between a rock and a hard spot, you say?

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: Has Mirthala Salinas Moved into Getty House?
Getty House is the official residence of the Mayor of Los Angeles
ERS News reports Mirthala and Mayor Villaraigosa are spending alot of time at Getty House, the Mayor’s official residence.
The Mayor’s wife, Corina, and their children reportedly have moved back to the family Mount Washington residence in East Los Angeles.
The Mayor and Ms. Salinas can do what they like but isn’t this a little quick – especially with the Mayor’s divorce pending?
Shoe shopping is one thing but living at the official City Mansion is well – classless.
Update:
Ana Garcia of KNBC Channel 4 Los Angeles has a piece on tonight’s news. She asks the Mayor directly to supply his public records which were requested by Garcia and KNBC News weeks ago and which have been blocked by his attorneys.
Is that Anita Moreno in his security detail attempting to block Ana Garcia from asking the Mayor questions? Or who is it?
City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa is interviewed by reporter Mirthala Salinas of Telemundo at Factor’s Famous Deli on May 19, 2005 in Los Angeles

Well, Flap was wrong and there were no Saturday announcements from NBC Universal nor have there been ANY leaks about the ethics investigation of Mirthala Salinas.However, the New York press has picked up on the story.
Anyone have a BEST guess as to when they will announce?
Is the Mayor still out of town visiting with his Princeton-bound son? And where has Mirthala been hiding?
Sightings, anyone? Luke? Mayor Sam?
The LA Times is ready but no NEW material since their piece on Universal’s development plan.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: NBC Universal Development Surrounds Villaraigosa – Salinas Scandal
Mayor Villaraigosa was at Universal CityWalk Wednesday for the grand opening of the 1,000th Panda Inn restaurant.
Remember Flap stated weeks ago that the Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa – NBC/Telemundo affair scandal disclosure was the tip of the iceberg.
Well, yesterday we find out that the Mayor has been fed questions for a supposed impromptu television interview program on Spanish language Telemundo competitor, Univision.
And today the Los Angeles Times exposes the interwoven web of the Mayor, Mirthala, and a massive NBC/Universal Development Project over which the Mayor has government purview.
Finally, an investigative story by the Los Angeles Times on this scandal.
Ok, here we go…….
Affair, NBC project cross paths
A $3-billion Universal City development is getting new scrutiny as Telemundo officials undertake a review of the mayor’s girlfriend
The extramarital affair between Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and a newscaster for Telemundo has created a new set of complications for the broadcaster’s corporate parent, NBC Universal — and possibly the mayor himself.
Even as its Spanish-language subsidiary is poised to decide the future of Mirthala Salinas, the now-suspended reporter who embarked on a romantic relationship with Villaraigosa while she reported on him, NBC Universal is proceeding with a massive $3-billion development plan that city officials must ultimately approve.
Although Telemundo executives hold the key to the career of Salinas, now the subject of an internal investigation into whether she compromised the company’s journalistic mission, Villaraigosa holds his own considerable power over NBC Universal. The entertainment conglomerate will very likely need Villaraigosa’s help to navigate the city’s approval process as it spends the next year pushing its Universal City Vision Plan, a concept the mayor embraced seven months ago.
Remember Telemundo Channel 52 political reporter Mirthala Salinas, the Mayor’s girl friend, has been on paid leave since July 5 due to an ethics investigation. Remember Mirthala announced the Mayor’s divorce “on air” while she knew that she was the “other woman” involved in the break-up.
Also, Salinas had been involved with other politicians ( City Council President and now California State Senator Alex Padilla and Speaker of the California Assembly Fabian Nunez) while a political reporter.
The Mayor on Monday stated that he had not been contacted by NBC Universal in the investigation.
Also, for background, NBC Universal and specifically KNBC television has fired an employee, reporter, Kyung Lah, when it was discovered she was having an affair in the workplace. And who was the station general manager at the time?
Paula Madison
Manuel Abud VP/GM KVEA-TV/Telemundo & Paula Madison former
General Manager KNBC-TV Los AngelesFrom Eric Longabardi
Sources inside NBC/Universal confirm to ERSNews that Paula Madison, former General Manager of KNBC-TV and now head of diversity for NBC/Universal had the authority and was in fact the person who was responsible for removing Salinas from the political reporting beat due to her personal relationship with the Mayor. ERSNews sought direct comment from Ms. Madison about her role in the case, but was referred to NBC/Telemundo spokesman Victor Franco, who declined comment, saying only that the internal investigation of the matter was nearing completion and they withhold any comment until it was complete. Asked by ERSNew.com when that would be, spokesman Franco would only say “soonâ€.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has expressed support for NBC Universal’s plans, which call for a hotel, homes and offices.
So, now, we understand the delay by NBC Universal in disposing of Mirthala Salinas. They are damned if they fire her and they are damned if they keep her. But, whatever they do, this scandal is not over.
Why?
Because of the massive Universal City Vision Plan which the Mayor supports, local residents oppose and which other politicians including Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky and Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge consider too large.
“The councilman is opposed to the project as proposed,” said Renee Weitzer, chief of staff to LaBonge, who is out of the country and could not be reached. “We feel it’s too dense. It’s too big, and the site is too small.”
Flap smells a Los Angeles County Grand Jury investigation here and an emergence of other politicians to rival Villaraigosa for the Mayorship in two years. How do you spell former Mayor Jimmy Hahn?
Mayor Villar better hope Mirthala Salinas keeps some sort of work.
He may need HER support in the future.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: Anita Moreno and the Mayor?
OFFICER ANITA MORENO WITH MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA OCTOBER 2005
Graphic Courtesy of ERS News
Eric Longabardi has the story:ERSNews has been investigating the alleged relationship of Mayor Villaraigosa and a female member of his LAPD security detail. The officer, who ERS/The Enterprise Report can reveal exclusively is 14-year LAPD veteran Anita Moreno, works on the Mayor’s protective security detail provided by the LAPD. Officer Moreno has previously worked for the LAPD’s Pacific Division and also for the training division of the LAPD over her long law enforcement career.
According to multiple sources, the mayor has had a relationship with officer Moreno of some kind. The exact nature of that relationship is still unknown. ERS sought comment from the LAPD, The Mayor’s office and directly from Ms. Moreno herself concerning any personal relationship she has had or does have with Mayor Villaraigosa. Prior to the publication of this report there was no response back to inquiries made by ERSNews from any of the contacted parties.
ERSNews has also confirmed that Officer Moreno has previously worked on the Mayor’s security detail dating as far back as late 2005. She is officially assigned to Chief Bratton’s office. According to the Chief’s office she is currently “on loan†to the Mayor’s office and ERSNews has confirmed she was working on the Mayor’s security detail as recent as today (7/20/07).
A week ago or so it was rumored over at Mayor Sam’s by an anonymous commenter that something may be up with the Mayor and a member of his security detail.
Also, that this person was “selected” by the Mayor to be on his security detail although she was not a member of the “Metro Division” from where the security detail officers usually are trained.
This story is weak because of the anonymous sourcing but Flap will put it out there because obvously somebody has been talking.
How about it readers? Anyone know the real poop on Anita Moreno and her REAL relationship to the Mayor?

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: Telemundo Faces Ethics Dilemma in Mirthala Salinas Affair
Graphic courtesy of ERS News
Telemundo faces tough choice in ethics case involving newscaster
Spanish language broadcaster Telemundo finds itself in a tough position as it investigates a political reporter who had an affair with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and then reported on air that he was splitting from his wife of 20 years.
Mirthala Salinas, 35, who has been on leave for two weeks while the station investigates her conduct, has said station managers knew of her relationship with the mayor before she anchored the news of his break up. As a result, Telemundo is likely to be second-guessed no matter what happens to Salinas.
Ethics experts have already blasted Telemundo affiliate KVEA for not conducting a probe when station managers were first informed of her relationship with Villaraigosa 11 months ago.
While some may paint the Salinas affair as an obvious conflict of interest, the private nature of the relationship may make it harder for Telemundo to apply ethics guidelines.
Private nature of the relationship? What are they talking about? Everyone in the newsroom and management at NBC/Telemundo knew for months that Mirthala had an ongoing illicit and secret affair with the Mayor of Los Angeles.
As Luke Ford asked: why hasn’t anyone done a story on Mirthala’s reputation as a Power Fuc**r.
It is well known that Salinas had sexual relationships with both Speaker of the California Assembly Fabian Nunez and former City Council President and now California State Senator Alex Padilla.
Mayor Villaragosia and Mirthala Salinas both attend the (SVREP)
Southwest Voter Registration Education Project Latino Vote 2005 Banquet
in Los Angeles. Salina’s former boyfriend California’s Speaker of the
Assembly Fabian Nunez is also in attendance.
(July 15th, 2005)Balancing Telemundo’s responsibility to Salinas with what it owes the public could explain the length of the investigation.
“There’s what they have to do legally. But then the other issue is what they owe their audience to recover their credibility. That’s a completely different question,” said Kelly McBride, ethics group leader at the Poynter Institute, a journalism foundation in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The station might also be carefully considering how to change the culture that allowed Salinas to continue in her job after revealing she was secretly dating the mayor.
Station managers said they removed Salinas from the political beat when the affair became known.
“I don’t think you can be complicit in dishonest behavior, even if it is private behavior and especially if it involves a very powerful public official,” McBride said.
Station spokesman Victor Franco declined to discuss the situation.KNBC fired Kyung Lah for her convoluted affair with a KNBC producer. Remember?
Remember who fired Kyung Lah, “Today in L.A.” producer Jeff Soto, and 11 p.m. news producer Jim Bunner – General Manager Paula Madison.
Manuel Abud VP/GM KVEA-TV/Telemundo & Paula Madison former
General Manager KNBC-TV Los AngelesFrom Eric Longabardi
Sources inside NBC/Universal confirm to ERSNews that Paula Madison, former General Manager of KNBC-TV and now head of diversity for NBC/Universal had the authority and was in fact the person who was responsible for removing Salinas from the political reporting beat due to her personal relationship with the Mayor. ERSNews sought direct comment from Ms. Madison about her role in the case, but was referred to NBC/Telemundo spokesman Victor Franco, who declined comment, saying only that the internal investigation of the matter was nearing completion and they withhold any comment until it was complete. Asked by ERSNew.com when that would be, spokesman Franco would only say “soon”.
So, will Paula Madison pull the trigger on Mirthala Salinas and fire her?
Doubtful……
If they do terminate her, the resulting lawsuit against NBC/Universal/Telemundo will put all of management under oath to testify as to what they knew and when they knew it. Management knew about the affair and “covered it up” to enrich their station’s access to the Mayor’s office.
Mirhtala Salinas will NOT be fired.
Ethics dilemmas for NBC and Telemundo?
What ethics?
Stay tuned…….
During the course of a television interview on June 19, 2006, Villaraigosa walks with Salinas outside the state Capitol.
