THE STATE OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA:

A little girl was leaning into a lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the
collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, all under
the eyes of her screaming parents.

A 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 the girl 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 bravest 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 US. Marine, a Republican and I voted for Trump".

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 & STEALS HIS LUNCH.

And that pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
