Do Banished Journalists Deserve a 2nd Chance?

FORMER PHILLY BROADCASTER and convicted felon Larry Mendte is back on television, doing commentaries for Tribune TV stations. Is there anything wrong with that?

For background: Mendte is a Delaware County guy and Bonner grad. He worked at TV stations across the country and hosted Access Hollywood before returning to Philly in the 1990s.

He was fired from CBS3 in 2008 (a few weeks after he visited J1111) after it was discovered that he had hacked into his colleague's email more than 500 times, leaking info from her email to tabloid reporters. He claimed he and his colleague had something of an affair. Mendte was sentenced to probation, home confinement, community service and psychiatric evaluation.

What did you think of the video?
