I suppose the dwindling fortunes of the newspaper industry have forced White to embrace a greater level of coarseness in The Daily Planet, in a desperate attempt to seem younger and edgier, and maybe sell a few more papers. It works, mind you. I'd totally buy a newspaper with the words "Lame-ass robots" in an all-caps, "War declared!" banner headline like that.
