HOW JOURNALISTS SEE THINGS

The following was contributed by a good friend, Mr. Bill King, author unknown - very insightful

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. 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." 

"It was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little  kid in danger, and SOMEBODY had to save her." 

"Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you  know", the reporter said, "and tomorrow's papers will have this on the  first page. What motorcycle do you drive?" 

 "A Harley Davidson." 

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:
