A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a
little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull
her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion
square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain
the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to
her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the
Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've
seen a man do in my whole life."
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was
behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt
right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm
a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the
front page . . . . . . .
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you
have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican..'
The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper
to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front
page:
U..S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
