Superman as a symbol of traditionalism and American exceptionalism, must be pretty schizophrenic to possibly share the same brain as far-left liberal reporter Clark Kent. But I'm saying that envisioning Clark Kent as a reporter in the modern era, not that of the 1930's when he was created, or the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. A reporter in the modern era is a completely different beast.

There's also the possibility that Clark Kent in the modern era could be a closeted conservative, keeping another secret identity among his liberal peers in the newsroom.

Or conversely, I haven't read a Superman title in close to 20 years, but liberal weenie writers have probably re-booted the character as a woke liberal, in which case he'd fit right in a modern newsroom, joining his fellow reporters in an internal New York Times e-mail chain bashing and calling for the resignation of any editor that might be so daring as to give equal time on an editorial page to someone like conservative-republican Senator Tom Cotton.

We really need a Superman to save us from that...
