The city spokesman Markus Herrmann confirmed that the entire TV spot had been staged by the ORF saying that they had requested to specifically film migrants cleaning up. By the time the filming had been done on Friday most of the actual cleanup of the damage which consisted of flooded cellars and houses, had already been cleared by the city’s paid employees. The broken furniture and other debris by the roadside, that was included in the footage, was actually left there on purpose by city workers who were planning on collecting it all later.
According to Herrmann, the TV crew had asked to shoot some scenes that showed the results of the clean up initially. Upon hearing that the film makers were in town several migrant caregivers decided to try and bring some of the migrants in their care down to the site where they were filming. Herrmann wasn’t sure why the ORF made the choice to re-shoot the scenes with migrants

Dont the germans remember what propaganda is?
Geez they are just as bad as the whole stupid coverup lying the japanese do to save face.
Lying press.
ORF?
What does that translate to in English?
CNN? ABC? CBS? NBC? FOX?
Same playbook regardless of country.
I swear this and most of the other ‘news’ organizations’ staging of stories sounds like a Peter Sellers’ movie.
Potemkin Village, omg..!
Hilarious! And disgusting.
Thanks for this story - it helps maintain my faith in human nature!
(Snicker) It’s great that one of the screenwriters for Wag the Dog, namely David Mamet, took the Reagan/Churchill route through life. He has matured from a flaming lib into a vocal conservative.
Elements of the British Press do a much better job here in the u.S. as well.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

Seems like they have their disingenuous lying media kowtowing to the government too.
Notice how they put the Rapefugees next to a BLONDE Austrian woman. That was intentional.
Faked news always helps a society....NOT!
That is awesome!
ORF is state-run (tax-payer funded) TV....having been around since 1955.
What one can generally say about most European countries is that they all started with tax-payer funded state TV and most all started in the 1970s allowing private or commercialized TV to exist. Austria was different...ORF and the state-TV mafia fought off private TV networks until the late 1990s.
If you asked me to describe ORF....it’d be some cross-between of NPR, Nat’l Geographic, documentary-based programming, intellectual TV, and crime-drama entertainment....with occasional concerts for the youthful audience. For anyone under the age of twenty-five....it’s non-existent and most are moving toward streaming TV (Amazon, Netflix, etc).
Like the liberals who clean up after each one of their rallies /s
