You are entitled to write Clark however you see him. And if you want to make sound travel faster, fine, do so.
However while I am sure Clark & you don't see it as a lie, it remains a lie. However you are entitled to have Lois not see it as a lie.
I think the difference in our POVs is that you are showing us a Clark Kent that believes the end justifies the means. I am a believer that the end is shaped by the means.
I don't however think your Clark is acting out of character, I just think he has not learned better and I hope it blows up in his face.
From your comments I think you are going to have it work out to his benefit. Pity, I'd love to see it blow up in his face.
I am one of those folks that does not think heaping lies on top of lies ever works out good.
Your Clark is
STILL making decisions for Lois, he continues to insult her by showing that he does not trust her to run her own life.
This is very in character with early relationship Clark as portrayed on L&C. So yes I think he is acting link an idiot, and I hope you don't have Lois let him off the hook.
We need to see the return of Mad Dog Lane.
And I still think that even if Lois and her paper don't work through my list of bad media angles some rags and TV programs will and it will bite him.
