A biker is riding by the zoo, 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 bike, 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 seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says
Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.

Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars.
I just saw this little kid in danger,
and acted as I felt right.

Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed.
I'm a journalist, you know,
and tomorrow's papers will have this on the first page.

What motorcycle do you ride?

A Harley Davidson.

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it
indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page:

BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS
LUNCH.

Don't know whether to laugh at this one or not;too close to the truth.One can do ANYTHING with statistics or media coverage.

I have had the responsibility of working at the scene of several "news worthy" events and I can assure the world that the media WILL find a way to make any story more gut wretching and slanted than is justified by the events.

They just can't seem to understand why the "news" media is even less respected than congress or used car salesman!
