A Lesson in Propaganda!

A biker was riding by the zoo when he saw a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.

Suddenly, the lion grabbed her by the cuff of her jacket and tried to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumped off his bike, ran to the cage, and hit the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumped back, letting go of the girl, and the biker brought her to her terrified parents, who thanked him profusely and without end.

A newspaper reporter had seen the whole scene and, addressing the biker, said, “Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I ever saw a man do.”

“Why, it was nothing, really,” said the biker.  “The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and did what I thought was the right thing to do.”

“Well,” said the amazed reporter.  “I'll make sure this doesn't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist for The New York Times, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page!

“What kind of motorcycle do you ride and what is your political affiliation?” he asked.

“I  drive a Harley Davidson and I am a Republican,” said the biker.

The following morning, the biker bought The New York Times to see if it indeed printed news of his actions the previous day, and read the following headline on the front page:

REPUBLICAN BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AN AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
