A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little Hispanic 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, said a quick prayer for her safety. And reacted as I felt, was the right & neighborly thing to do.'
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 just a typical U.S. Army Ranger, & a Christian Conservative, who loves his country. And, I am on leave, from fighting in Iraq'
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: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. ARMY RANGER, ASSAULTS A POOR HUNGRY AFRICAN IMMIGRANT, AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!!
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
