U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HER LUNCH

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 HER LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news
these days.
