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, 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.
