media bias

[manu1959]

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 NYT 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 unnoti ced. I'm a journalist fro m the
New York Times , you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this on the
first page. What motorcycle do you ride and what political affiliation do
you have?'

' A Harley Davidson and I am a Republican. '

The journalist leaves.

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