May 21, 2010<\/p>\n

This has got to be one the most bizarre confrontations between a public relations flack and a broadcast news reporter we’ve seen in a long time.<\/p>\n

While attempting to get answers to questions about the alleged misuse of charitable donations intended to benefit low-income patients at Laguna Honda Hospital (LHH), ABC-7 I-Team investigative reporter Dan Noyes was confronted by LHH public relations flack, Marc Slavin, who intervenes to prevent Noyes from posing questions to LHH Director Mivic Hirose.<\/p>\n

In a video posted by the I-Team<\/a>, Noyes repeatedly asks Slavin to stop touching him.\u00a0 Slavin repeatedly ignores Noyes’ request and later in the video, Slavin prevents the I-Team videographer from documenting the confrontation.<\/p>\n
