The Justice League Paradox

How can this portrayal of the NuJustice League as media darlings who get anything they want from the government be true?I mean, I should believe NuDC's FLAGSHIP title (#7), right? It's my lead into all the other books. The stone upon which the entire monument is built. And yet, if the Justice League can do no wrong, how can THESE things also be true?

In Aquaman, Arthur is married to a woman wanted for questioning.
In Superman, Metropolis isn't exactly standing united behind the Kryptonian.
In Flash, the Scarlet Speedster recently caused a devastating EMP that has even his secret identity's girlfriend questioning his value.
I guess it's up to Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg to raise the P.R. level on this team (did you just ask about Hal Jordan? you're kidding, right?).

It's like Geoff Johns isn't reading the JL members' own books, and that's fine. We can't force him. Maybe the editors could send him a synopsis or something. Oh wait, he's writing TWO of the JL members' own books. I guess that means Justice League isn't canon. AND THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME!
