The other day I wrote an item about Independent San Jose Police auditor, LaDoris Cordell.
Early Thursday, as I often do, I was scanning the papers and net and caught the story about Cordell's involvement in a controversial SJ city firing. Immediately, it dawned on me that Cordell was a legal analyst for CBS5/KPIX.
Or, so I thought. Cordell is no longer at KPIX.
Before posting the story, I called the KPIX switchboard to try to get a comment. It was early and I was in a hurry. No luck at 'PIX, so I went to the CBS5 website where Cordell was still listed. Assuming she was still on the payroll, I wrote the story.
Turns out I was wrong.
After Cordell took the position in San Jose, she and Channel 5 news, seeing the obvious potential of a conflict of interest, parted company.
My apologies to CBS5/KPIX and News Director, Dan Rosenheim, and Ms. Cordell.
