Fw: The Lion's Cage

        This is hilarious, but pathetic in its accuracy of today's media.  It was

forwarded by the co-founder of our World War II Vets of Tulsa.  I laughed so

hard at the punch lines I just had to send it on.                        Bob

                    THE 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.
