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 from the NY Times sees the whole scene, and tells biker, "Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I've ever seen 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 unnoticed. I'm a journalist for the Times. Tomorrow's paper will have this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride?"
"A Harley Davidson."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the Times to see if it indeed brings news of heroic actions, and reads, on page one: BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH. An excellent example of how our "news?" is distorted .
