Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
An absolute nostalgic delight, the Weekly World News entertained and...informed?...millions during its life from the late 70s into the 21st century. While you may remember Bat Boy, the WWN also--at least in in its early years, covered some fairly significant UFO stories. We'll see the progression from covering cases like Cash-Landrum and cattle mutilations to reporting that an alien had endorsed Bill Clinton for the 1992 Presidential election. We'll also look at some of the other great features in the paper, including Dear Dottie's advice column.
