A biker is riding by the zoo in Taronga
Park, Sydney 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 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, 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 an SAS soldier just returned from Afghanistan and a
Liberal party supporter'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions,
and reads, on the front page:
SAS SOLDIER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
And that my friends, pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news
these days.

Hits a bit too close to the truth to be funny.

Reminds me of a saying I heard some years ago; "This story is True, only the facts have been changed to make it more interesting" :cuss

That sounds about right too, can't trust anyone these days in politics, media, auto sales people... oh just realised this list would fill the forums.
