Humor or commentary: news media

[Dave22443]

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." said the biker, "really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right." 

"I noticed a patch on your jacket said the journalist." 

"Yeah I ride with a Christian motorcycle club." the biker replies. 

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

That's priceless!

Problem is....it could possibly happen in real life...the papers always twist things around.
