Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: Mirthala Salinas Question of the Day
“The little firecracker with the Chiclet smile†and Mayor Villaraigosa
Why Doesn’t The News Media Camp Outside Of Mirthala Salinas’s Studio City Condo?
But, he only has it part right.
Mayor Villar is their ideological soul-mate of the LEFT. And the LEFT in the media take care (spelled burying the dirt) of their AMIGO in City Hall.
Does Mirthala live in Sherman Oaks or Studio City? And why is a city lobbyist and political contributor to the Mayor having anything to do with where the Mayor’s girlfriend lives or her mother lives or they both live?
KNBC, where are you when we need you?
Has KNBC pursued legal action to obtain the Mayor’s calendar and his Blackberry e-mails, like they promised?
City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa is interviewed by reporter Mirthala Salinas of Telemundo at Factor’s Famous Deli on May 19, 2005 in Los Angeles
Update:
Now, the LAPD is stonewalling the press citing security concerns on whether the Mayor’s police bodyguards were with him ( at public expense) when he was visiting/screwing/having dinner with Telemundo political reporter Mirthala Salinas.
Villaraigosa was asked at a news conference this month if taxpayers subsidized his relationship with Salinas and he answered with two words: absolutely not. He did not elaborate.
The mayor has set a high benchmark for accountability for himself: “Honesty and ethics in City Hall start at the top,” he said a few days after being sworn in 2005, when he imposed reforms intended to ensure integrity in city government.
Across the nation, law enforcement routinely takes extensive measures to protect the security of high-profile public officials. Last year Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the Hispanic mayor received death threats during the national debate on immigration reform.
Robert McCrie, a professor of security management at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said the city can reasonably argue that dates, locations and times for upcoming travel can be regarded as private for security reasons. But there is no threat to the mayor by confirming after the fact that he was accompanied on a trip by a police security detail, he said.
“It’s an expenditure of the public purse to accompany the mayor on such trips. It’s therefore a matter that reasonably can be provided to the public,” McCrie said.
Stonewall and cover-up are the norm for a Los Angeles Mayor who pledged honesty and ethics in City Hall.
How quaint……… How ridiculous…….
Hypocritically scandalous.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Watch: What and When Did Telemundo/NBC Know About the Villaraigosa – Mirthala Salinas Affair?
Graphic courtesy of ERS News
As Flap was driving home from Ventura last night from his CPR renewal course, KFI’s John Ziegler was laughing at Telemundo/NBC and their “COVER THEIR ASS” investigative story on the Villaraigosa – Mirthala Salinas affair.The inside poop is that management and staff KNEW Villaraigosa and Salinas had a “personal relationship” for months or years.
Eric Longabardi mentions this in his piece from yesterday.
Manuel Abud VP/GM KVEA-TV/Telemundo & Paula Madison former
General Manager KNBC-TV Los AngelesSo, is the Ana Garcia piece, investigating her “own shop,” since Telemundo and KNBC operate out of the same facilities, really a FAUX ATTEMPT to investigate the affair and the Mayor?
Probable.
And why has NBC/Telemundo been reluctant to fire Salinas while NBC had no hesitation to dump and fire Kyung Lah?
Isn’t it obvious?
Telemundo and NBC were as big a MEDIA WHORE as Mirthala Salinas. Her relationship with the Mayor gave them exclusive access to stories. Information and access = media dollars.
The scandal here is as much Telemundo’s as it is Mirthala’s.
So, Flap asks again: What you gonna do, Telemundo?
