I'm livid over how this comic handwaved Lois hacking into government computers EVEN AFTER the Murdoch reference. It goes as far as presenting her actions as heroic journalism. That's ass-backwards. An "intrepid reporter" doesn't need to hack into people's shit to get information. And Lois should not be weak enough to be "corrupted" by the medium or company she works for.

When journalists are caught doing illegal stuff, it's usually the individuals who are blamed/blacklisted, not their companies. The News International case is an exception because of an entire newsroom's corruption, plus the possibility of executive assent. So Lois creating a culture of unethical journalism all on her lonesome makes me ragey as hell. She said she had the power to change things. Why didn't she?

So yeah, I had issues with this... issue. I did appreciate the lazy stab at examining how news is changing and why that's important, but it didn't really make sense.
