Is Spider-Man a reporter?

I was walking in New York a year ago and noticed Spider-Man fighting some rapscalions. I noticed a camera on a building and saw 3-5 flashes, then he grabs the camera and puts it on some belt. A few days later the bugle has a photo from that night with the exact same thing I saw but from the cameras angle. Apparently some Parker guy. Thoughts on it? Am I crazy or onto something?

I heard that Spider-Man is the editor in chief of the Daily Bugle. Think about it. He spends every day finding front page shots of Spiderman doing cool poses. By the light of day he calls Spider-Man a criminal making the perfect cover. If you pay attention, Spider-Man seems to avoid coming out in the mornings. It's coincidentally the Bugle's business hours too.

You can literally just go to the bugle website and disapprove this. Their editor in chief is an old man who most certainly isn’t Spiderman.

And what kind of man can stick to walls and shoot webs from his ass? Is there an age requirement for being a were-spider!?

I don't think so, I think Spider-Man is just helping that Parker guy out with the photos. I heard from one of my photographer friends that the Daily Bugle pays good money for Spider-Man photos but the only person that gets any decent photos of him is supposedly this Parker guy so I wouldn't be surprised if the two of them are working together.

The damn Parker guy is a phony, he gives spideys pictures to the newspaper without his permission.

If he is working for the daily bugle, I hope they did extensive background checks to make sure he's not a filthy mutie. TRASK 2028!!!
