Fake News

Fake News
Here's a pretty good idea of just what fake news is like:
A biker was sitting on his Harley, drinking a beer, by the Zoo in Washington, DC when he saw a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabbed her by the collar of her jacket and tried to pull her inside, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumped off his Harley, 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 little girl, and the biker took the child to her thankful parents.
A reporter who had watched the whole event approached the Harley rider saying, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.”
The Harley rider replied, "It was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and reacted as was right.”
The reporter said, “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. Sir, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
The biker replied "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m voting for Trump."
The following morning the biker bought the paper to see if it reported his actions, and, sure enough, it stated, on the front page:
“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!”
And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to President Trump and the news these days!
