Lion's Cage

A little girl was leaning into a lion's cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, all under the eyes of her screaming parents.  A 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 the girl 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 bravest 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, a Republican and I voted for Trump".

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 & STEALS HIS LUNCH.

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