Thanks everyone for all the comments, I really appreciate it.
Framework4:
For a normal man, it would take approximately 2 hours for Lois' cry to travel from San Diego to Kansas (I'm assuming Smallville is somewhere in the center of Kansas). But we know that Clark has hearing far superior to a normal man given than he routinely hears things he shouldn't be able to. I agree, this is a bit fast, but I guess I think that if we can't suspend reality a little, we probably shouldn't write/read stories about a man who flies under his own power.
I hope not everyone agrees that my Superman is an idiot. He is supposed to be inherently human and thus makes mistakes, but not a fool. I guess I don't see what he sent to Emerson as a lie. The article is true, the only "lie" is that it came from Lois, but since he knew she wouldn't send it herself, I saw that as necessary.
However, if others agree that he comes across as stupid, please let me know as I definitely don't want that and will only be too happy to try to again.
