60 minutes once firmed an episode in Chicago’s city hall. They asked if they could film an episode about how efficient Chicago City Hall is, the commissioner agreed. When they arrived with their crew they gave many instructions before filming. One such instruction: they instructed a clerk to move a pile of folders from one table against a wall to another table by the window because it would show how outside light would allow for clearer vision, and filmed it. Then when the show aired the narrative stated “now watch as a clerk tries to hide incriminating folders from us, and move them to the shredder”. Yes a shredder was next to the table by the window. The whole show was staged and directed to prove how corrupt Chicago is, not how efficiently it runs. Don’t get me wrong, is Chicago corrupt, you betcha, always has been . But fake filming doesn’t prove anything. Be careful believing anything seen on tv. Why are there so many writers names in the credits of all those reality shows? Yes, 60 minutes had writers too. My bet is that they told that clerk to help the woman with her test.
