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.
