media's approach to the news these

Biker and the Journalist

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.
