The conspiracy story is beginning to come together.
I realize here it is used for dramatic purposes but I have always wondered about the idea often put forth in the Lois and Clark universe (mostly by Perry) that the Daily Planet needed to have legally admissible facts with folks willing to stand up in court and testify in order to print a story. The idea that they had to legally prove guilt seems a bit far fetched for newspaper reporters. Normally they could print based upon a paper trail that substantially supported the story they printed (which Lois has in spades here). So many stories are printed based upon 'sources close to the matter'(witness Watergate for instance). The burden of legally proving the guilt, to me, is a police matter.
