Clark should take a note from James O’keefe and do some real investigative journalism!

This isn't just a kid having a tantrum though, as Clark will take a stand against the media's move towards being more entertainment and less news. He even makes a coment about "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" being the goal that media, and people in general, should strive towards.

This will not last long at all. DC Comics is owned by Warner Brothers, which is owned by Time Warner, which owns CNN.

So, has he come out of the closet yet, or are they saving that for a future issue?

"Relevant" comics are garbage. Comics are supposed to be about escaping the mundane and the ordinary, not reveling in it.

Well, the artwork and composition is about 300% better than when I was a kid...

This could be good news for Jimmy Olsen:

Jimmy Olsen’s Blues - The Spin Doctors

Well, I don’t think I can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I’ll talk to my analyst
I got it so bad for this little journalist
It drives me up the wall and through the roof
Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
I think I’m going out of my brain
I got it so bad for little Miss Lois Lane

Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Super Man
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

He’s leaping buildings in a single bound
I’m reading Shakespeare at my place downtown
Come on downtown and make love to me
I’m Jimmy Olsen not a titan, you see
He’s faster than a bullet, stronger than a train
He’s the one who got lucky got his cape around Miss Lois Lane

I can’t believe my dilemma is real
I’m competing with the Man of Steel

Actually, it’s not the first time. He left the Planet to be a TV reporter back in the day...in the early Seventies, I think.

That's so. In graphic media, you actually can shine a turd. It still stinks, though.

Kent left the planet to become a TV reporter DECADES ago.

Obviously nobody at dc or usatoday knows anything about past events.

Maybe Superman is tired of all the BS media bias. Superman would definately be pro-Romney.

I just think it’s important when someone from the pop culture criticizes the MSM.

Did you notice the quote about reporting the White House press release verbatim, with no questions asked? That’s the kind of remark we see on Free Republic most every day.

It’s....interesting.

Blogging for the Huffington Post doesn’t pay the rent. He may have to take a second job. With his physique, he could have a career in modeling. A few football teams could use him, too.
