Tapes Of Wrath (Part 2, 1983)

Views: 2791

**Warning: May be slightly inappropriate for some environments. Contains material which some people may consider unsuitable for younger or more sensitive listeners. Viewer discretion is advised.**
It's not Chicago-related, but it is a pretty funny collection of bloopers and other behind-the-scenes footage from the news that you don't usually get to see. I'm assuming that this was produced by an insider. Includes footage from ABC, CBS, NBC, and others.
