Default Fair press?

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, D.C. when he sees a
little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her
by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter
her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The 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 her 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 brave 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 and a Republican

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:


€œU.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT

AND STEALS HIS LUNCH€


(It is humor guys. Really.)

Humor parrots reality.


It is an old joke and jokes contain some reality.
Fact is that "fake news" is mostly biased news.

You are familiar with tabloid and yellow journalism, right?
