This'll give you a little insight so that you can evaluate the political reporting that we have to tolerate..........
-------------------
A motor biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage through the bars.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the sleeve of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to eat her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The motor 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.
The biker brings her back to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter who has seen the whole scene, comes over and says,
'Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I ever saw a man do in my whole life.'
The motor biker replies,
'It was nothing, really. The lion was behind the bars and I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt it was the right thing to do.'
The reporter continues,
'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this on the first page. By the way, what type of motorcycle do you ride?'
'A Harley Davidson.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the motor biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions yesterday, and reads on front page:
- "BIKIE GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AN AFRICAN IMMIGRANT - AND STEALS HIS LUNCH." -
