Mayor’s Troubles

Bill Farr comments:

— The mayor’s press staff should have anticipated the press scrum at the port and never allowed the incident to happen.

— Unger must of have trained with the NBA. She was looking for a technical.

— Laurel Erickson of KNBC is clearly over compensating for the fact that Salinas worked for a sister station — and it’s hard for Erickson to over compensate.

— The mayor should be happy that Linda Breakstone is no longer on the air.

— The mayor needs to develop a strategy and stick to it. He’s clearly flailing. His marriage was dissolving and he had an affair. Now he’s getting a divorce. It’s not at all unusual.

— Telemundo did a disservice to everyone involved by doing a shitty investigation. If Salinas actually had a habit of bedding sources, she should have been fired. If her bosses knew about it and even exploited those relationships, they should have been fired. Then they should have made the investigation public.

— Salinas needs to find a job in another market, or resign. Her position in the LA press corps — such as it is — is untenable.
