NEW YORK—Frustrated fans of the Superman comic book said Monday the continued financial stability and cultural relevance of the series' Daily Planet newspaper is now the most unrealistic part of its universe and an annoying distraction that has ruined their reading experience.
While they acknowledged that enjoying the adventures of a superhero who can fly, lift a bus over his head, and shoot beams of intense heat from his eyes requires some suspension of disbelief, longtime fans told reporters they simply could not accept a daily metropolitan newspaper still thriving in the media landscape of 2012.

I read that article too. Couldn't decide if it was poking fun at the Planet's continued existence, or at the people who complain about the Planet's continued existence!
Oh Onion, you do amuse me..

This is a variation on a very old (but good) gag about the traditional opening to the TV/radio show:
1st GUY: "Oh come on, now. That's pretty far-fetched!"
2nd GUY: "What? A guy more powerful than a locomotive? Leaping tall buildings?"
1st: "No, a mild-mannered reporter!"
