From Superman: The Animated Series

Lois: I’m confused Kent…see, I’ve lived in Metropolis most of my life and I can’t figure out how some yokel from Smallville is suddenly getting every hot story in town…

Clark: Well Lois, the truth is I’m actually Superman in disguise and I only pretend to be a journalist in order to hear about disasters as they happen and then squeeze you out of the byline.

Lois: …you’re a sick man Kent.

Clark: You asked.
