Manic Monday Triple Overtime--It's A Crazy Idea, But It Just Might Work!!

GBS' main competitor is none too happy about how they keep getting scooped on Superman stories:

What?!? A super-hero taking pictures of his activities and giving them to reporters and (photographers)? Well, I never!! Whoever would think such a thing was possible?

Sssh!!

There really should be a class at journalism school covering ethics and the coverage of super-heroes...

From Action Comics #458 (1976)

Still More Great Moments In Metropolis Journalistic Ethics,

So Clark Kent is in Montana covering a rodeo, because news, when a bunch of cattle go on a werewolf-driven stampede, because comics.

So how can a mild-mannered reporter cover the event yet still save everyone?

You know, Clark, this is the sort of thing that Brian Williams dumped by NBC....

Also..."Whoopee"?? That alone is a firing offense.

From World's Finest Comics #214 (1972)

It Must Have Been A Slooooow News Day In Metropolis

Clark Kent is on perhaps the greatest assignment ever:

So Morgan Edge sends his top reporter all the way to Montana...to cover graduation exercises for a rodeo school?

Hard-hitting journalism, WGBS. Pulitzer stuff there.

Meanwhile, Clark gets all proto-PETA:

That's it, Clark--stick it to the man by sneaking a few snide comments in there!! That'll bring down the system!!

(Of course, if you really oppose rodeos, a few "caustic comments" from, say, Superman, might be more effective. Just sayin.'

BONUS FACT: Vigilante is considerably taller than Clark Kent!!

Manic Monday--The Day Kal-El Got WGBS Sued--Twice!!

Superman and Batman suspect that a night club mentalist named Sagittarius is involved in some shady business, but they can't prove anything.

So they decide to do what any detectives would do: run a vaguely worded news story on a major network to see if they can get a response:

Well, they get a response, all right... just not the one they were hoping for...

Well, this is a Bob Haney comic...so the heroes are neither good detectives nor good superheroes. Which leaves them nope choice but to taunt Sagittarius on the air...again. But how?

And so...

Ah, two libel suits in two days...life is good for Morgan Edge!

Fortunately, Sagittarius died at the end of the story, so the lawsuits went away...
