To be in the world but not of it, free from ambition, greed, intellectual pride, blind obedience to custom or in awe of persona in higher rank.

Could this be Today's media ? ?

A little girl 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, 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 whatat 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 unfortunately pretty much sums up our media's

approach to the news these day's. :-(
