Ed Schultz on the Union Payroll

Hat tip Truth Revolt



"Whaddaya mean youse don't watch da Ed Show?" 
(Amazing resemblance)

It seems MSNBC butter and egg man Ed Schultz has a second job.  According to the below report, he's on the payroll of the AFL-CIO-for "promotional and political activities"- like trumpeting the unions on the Ed Show and having  AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumko on said show.

$144,000 in 2012 and $75,000 in 2013. That'll buy a lot of butter and eggs, Ed.

I wonder if the TV news media has any rules about conflict of interest.

Here is a guy who fights for thr "little guy" on principle yet manages to make a profit anyway despite his courageous stands.

What a phony!

Its Trumka, not Trumko.

They don't call it a "show" for nothing. Schultz is not a newsman, he's a commentator. Its probably a waste of money for the AFL-CIO to pay this idiot anything, but its not illegal.

Sure he is. So are a lot of other people in the media, some with very profitable shows. This is news?
