Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
That's bs imo, spider-man despite his low standing in the marvel u asa important public world figure for the hero side has more connections/support than anyone of his status should have. Even Loki of all people has his back. He could just ask Steve or Tony to make a request to the government to stop the slander of Spider-man permenantly as an act of an illegal slander. Or he could ask Dr. Strange or Loki to brainwash JJ to say positive things about Spider-Man via truth spell.
Lets just say the reason Jonah keeps bashing Spidey is comicbook PIS.
Not to mention isn't that horribly illegal and all? You know Free Speach and all that jazz?
If the government isn't going to stop papers from bad mouthing the government, they won't violate the law for Peter.
The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!

Because that is totally not how a realistic person wouldn't stop a person publication on account of false conjecture, the daily bugle is a official publisher and Peter is one of the greatest street levelers in New York who has fucking been told by everyone to do something about being a J Jerkface J.
But in comicbook book land, it's kinda needs to be necessary because of misinterpreted circumstances that may lead Parker with a heap of trouble with the government regardless. But is bad writing reguardless to keep the character struggling and under the map as much as possible.
They really don't, not after the stuff Peter has done for them, you just don't want to admit I'm right on this.not to mention steve, tony, and strange have better things to do than abuse their powers just because JJ made bad words about peter.

Point: Slander isn't protected speech, so suing JJJ is a perfectly valid tactic. Only it would require a ton of time, money, and non-self-loathing that Pete probably can't provide with his super heroing. Also, it would probably require him to reveal his secret identity, and Marvel civilians are dumb enough to try and racially intimidate transom mutants (AKA, the minority whose traits range from learning languages quickly to being a peer of Galactus) as well as try and mob She Hulk.
so steve, tony, and strange would violate their own personal and professional ethics to bully the editor of a newpaper because they owe peter?
you know they addressed this in EMH when JJ was talking shit about cap after that whole skull invasion. you know what cap did? his job. just ignored all the crap and shit jameson was slinging at him and just did what he always does: save lives. and it helped spidey figure what to do about JJ.
