TRUMP’S ELEVEN HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-SECOND DAY CAMPAIGNING OUT-OF-OFFICE
AND IT’S TIME TO REVIEW WHAT THE BLOWER WAS SAYING 33 YEARS AGO

Today our Whistleblower Memoirs Ghost Writer says, “ One of the Most Fun Things For Persons of Consequence these days is reviewing the current week’s thirty-two-year-old 1991 Edition of the Whistleblower (the award-winning printed version that was hand-delivered all over town) to see if any local people pictured on those pages might still be room temperature these days.”

Would You Look at All These Warm Bodies?

JAN 20 THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO YESTERDAY…

image004Edition #43 (published on March 26, 1991) of the original printed edition of The Whistleblower (not the Newswire) was delivered to Persons of Consequence all over town. That Week’s “Really Big Story” was all about the introduction of “Show and Television” at NewsChannel 5. The Top Ten List was the top ten ways to ensure your access to the WLWT Promos-Cam, and a story about the planned protest at City Hall about the lack of Police Brutality in Cincinnati.image005

There was a Real Editorial by Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane (before he became “Beloved”) about Opening Day in Cincinnati, and more “Real Facts” that included the investigative reports about Tom Mooney and Bill Seitz, and two new cards from Jerry Springer’s “Women I’d Like To Boink” Series.image007 And we took “Cheap Shots” at Jose Rijo, Joe Deters, Roxanne Qualls, and Henry Dorfman; and we learned that Ours Is A Culture of Violence in “Another Real Guest Editorial by Bunky Tadwell.”
