A week ago, few Angelenos outside of KVEA/Telemundo 52's audience (and it's a fraction of KMEX/Univision 41's) had ever heard of Mirthala Salinas. (Not including, um, Villaraigosa's staff, City Hall insiders and reporters, and the readers and bloggers at Mayor Sam's Sister City.)
Now, of course, Mirthala Salinas is an L.A. superstar. And no, it's not just because she was boffing the mayor... and before that, the State Assembly leader... and before that, the City Council president.
Nope, it's because she was brazen enough to be reporting on all of these folks -- including the mayor -- while covering politics for KVEA! Now, to top it off, a new rumor is gaining ground that Salinas herself was the one who tipped the world to the affair, because she's upset over Mayor Tony's relationship with yet another woman. Ahh, the summer drama!
Mirthala has now been put on leave by KVEA. But hey, I say bring her back and launch a new marketing campaign: L.A.'s Ultimate Insider, Mirthala Salinas!
Some weeks are harder than others to come up with an Angeleno of the Week. This one was handed to us on a silver platter. For making what's frequently a slow news week extra juicy, Mirthala Salinas is our Angeleno of the Week.
