Info-Babe who likes to Date Dems Quits Telemundo

This info-Babe loves to date Democrats but this time it cost her.

LOS ANGELES — Newscaster Mirthala Salinas and Spanish-language network Telemundo have “mutually agreed to end” her employment with KVEA, according to a statement from the station. Salinas did not arrive for her first day of work Monday after a two-month suspension. The suspension and a transfer to the Riverside bureau followed an announcement that she and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa were involved in a relationship.

Executives at the station’s parent company, Telemundo, suspended Salinas Aug. 2 for two months without pay after determining her relationship with the mayor had violated Channel 52’s ethical standards.

Salinas issued a statement of her own confirming the relationship.”I first got to know the mayor at a professional level where we went on to become friends,” she said in the statement. “The current relationship grew out of our existing friendship. While we are both public figures, I hope that everyone can understand and respect my desire to maintain my privacy when it comes to personal relationships.”
