Something most people seem to miss about Lois: She's a reporter. She is the archetypal reporter, the one who will get to the truth and publish it, because it is the truth and that is a reporter's job. She's damned good at it and doesn't go about burying important stories because she happens to know the people involved. If Superman lost his powers, she'd report it. If Superman devised a secret plan to influence the flow of policy in Washington, she'd report it. And if he's walking around among us, as one of us, lying to everyone about that, she's going to report that... The public has a right to know.

Now it takes a lot to love someone who's morally and ethically committed to something that could very well be your undoing. Hell, you'd have to be a Superman...
