I'm not going into the context of the story but TLDR: Lois Lane says as EiC she can't let Clark write Superman stories due to conflict of interest.
Hire redhead intern on full time to cover Superman. Which is more or less the reason for the plot.
Lois is telling Superman, a being with the power to destroy planets and enslave humanity that she can't trust him to be objective on news articles about himself.
Lois is the EiC, and she is married to superman. Wouldn't that mean she too is violating her own journalistic ethics by allowing any coverage of her husband without at the minimum a public disclosure of the conflict of interest.
It's just a comic book but I had a little chuckle when I saw the article on my feed. Just shoddy writing and logic.
To be fair it's a decent premise for a story were Lois and Clark have to break up. Her with her ambition and them both being morally correct in how to proceed.
That is, if Clark ever wrote any Superman stories...
Sounds like a layover which could have had merit if only people had sat down and thought it through.
From what you say later in the thread it sounds like a grubby story poorly put together, so wasted concept gone down the drain is where I'd put my money on the whole thing.
