Neither Woodward Nor Bernstein

Ben Urich is the worst reporter ever.

See, he agrees with me.

In Hulk #600 (as if), he sits on a major story for at least the fourth time in his career.

Of course, we all know that he uncovered Daredevil's secret identity, but decided not to run the story. It should be noted, though, that given how many others managed to figure out Daredevil's identity, finding Matt Murdock's secret wasn't exactly a stunning journalistic coup.

Urich discovered that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, and did nothing with the info. That one's kinda moot now, thanks to Mephisto.

Then, in Civil War: Frontlines #11 (a.k.a. The Worst Comic Book Ever Published), Urich and and Sally Floyd reveal that hey know about the crimes Tony Stark committed during the Civil War, but are going to bury the information because they agree with Stark's agenda (and, apparently, because Captain America didn't have a MySpace page...).

Finally, in Rulk #600, he uncovers a busload of vital information:

Yup...major story, Pulitzer stuff. Stuff you'd think the public might want to know. But oh, sorry, Rulk threatened people, so this story gets buried, too.

(It's unclear if Urich actually uncovers Red Hulk's identity, or what this puzzle he's rambling about is, because Hulk #600 is possibly the worst written and drawn comic or the year. Terrible storytelling...)

So, Marvel editors and writers, if you're going to continue to use Ben Urich as your shining example of an intrepid investigative journalist, well, maybe you want to have him actually publish something he discovers once in awhile...
