Over the weekend, fresh off of Friday's 11th-hour Wisconsin House vote to strip certain public service unions of their right to negotiate and after days of debate and vitriol, the internet was abuzz with the news that some of the conservative talk-show hosts who have been most vocal about their anti-union sentiments are actually union members themselves.

According to the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), which is part of the AFL-CIO, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are all card-carrying members of that union.

O'Reilly viewers may have already known this, given that the Fox News personality mentioned his membership during his Feb. 18 show. "On a personal note, I'm a member of a union, AFTRA, and when I was working at 'Inside Edition' some years ago, the King World company tried to renege on pension benefits," he said. "AFTRA took them to court and the case was settled. If the shop had been non-union, we might have been stiffed."

No, you mean there is Hypocrisy in the News and in Politics? I thought everything on the News was hard, well researched, Fact. I am so confused now, If I can't trust the News, and I can't trust the Politicians who can I trust?
