So you thought Lois Lane was honest and fair? She was literally dating the story. Or Clark Kent. He was Daily Planet reporter by day, newsmaker by night. Both of these people would not be considered ethical journalists today.
And don't mention that one co-worker is living an adopted second persona to seduce and/or spy on a fellow reporter. Also, his immigration status and all the forms he must have faked to get his job and file his taxes. If Clark Kent was real he would almost certainly be locked up somewhere.
