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, 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 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..
