When the glamorous newsreader broke the story of the mayor’s extra-marital affair she kept the juiciest detail to herself — she was his lover.
Now Mirthala Salinas has been placed “on leave” while her television company investigates whether her relationship with Antonio Villaraigosa, the Mayor of Los Angeles, breached journalistic ethics.
But don't worry "dynamic and media-genic Latino" Villaraigosa it's not your fault.... it's the......Blogs
Clearly, the mayor would not be in the fix he's in — and it's quite a fix — without the emergence of a vigorous online media that is reshaping the city's political landscape. Los Angeles mayors Sam Yorty and Tom Bradley were married men who had affairs, which never got into the papers because, even if City Hall reporters had been inclined to pursue the story, it would have been virtually impossible to make it conform to the standards their editors enforced. When James K. Hahn's marriage broke up in the middle of his term, there hardly was a ripple in the local press.
No more.
Ah, to she a tear for the good ol' days.
But remember...
Villaraigosa's personal connection with Salinas is a private issue that legitimately concerns only the two of them and their families. No one else has a moral or rhetorical right to an opinion on that aspect of their conduct.Yes you heard that right people.
The Press is telling you what you have a "right to an opinion on" and what you don't.
