NEARLY TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY…

image004Edition #48 (published on April 30, 1991) of the original printed edition of The Whistleblower (not the Newswire) was delivered to Persons of Consequence all over town.

The Really Big Story was about then NewsChannel5 Anchorman Jerry Springer donning a phony beard and dirty clothes from L.L. Bean to pose as a homeless pervert on the mean streets of Cincinnati.  The Top Ten List was the top ten things Marvin Warner should do on his first day in prison, and there was a story about how Channel 9 fiddled around for so long on a scoop they had that the story would up in the Enquirer.
