A bit of Humor.....for most on the Media A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC 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, 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: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days. |
:rolleyes: Sad...it does hold some truth!:eek: |
It does appear that that is how the media puts a spin on things. |
Lol, isn't that the truth? Talking to my youngest son, it's seemed like 90% of his graduating class majored in "communications." You'd think this was a good thing because I've always thought lack of communication caused problems, but I think it's more about persuasive arguing, and most of them are learning to become great "spin doctors." In other words, how to slant a story to benefit themselves – forget about the truth, just manipulate someone. |
I'm not sure if that counts as political or not. Funny, though. :D |

Same in Nam. The journalists would report the death of 3 Marines from 1/9 on a certain date, but not mention over 100 enemy dead. Good thing I was young and dumb back then. The media is giving the current administration every pass in the book. If the old Admin did what is happening now, the front page on your daily paper would be 40 pages deep. |
