L.A. reporter and news director suspended after investigation

After an internal investigation, Telemundo executives announced that Mirthala Salinas, the reporter who had an affair with L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, is suspended for two months without pay. KVEA-52 news director Al Corral also had the same fate. Three other supervisors were reprimanded for allowing Salinas to continue reporting on the mayor while romantically involved with him. General manager Manuel Abud was reassigned to another position.
