Title: NY Times Joke
Post by: pops1911 on October 27, 2008, 10:06:31 AM
I plagiarized this from another group.

The New York Times -- in a Nutshell

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, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the biker says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life."

The biker 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 from the New York Times, 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 New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.

That might be funny if it weren't so accurate.

Come on, the NY Times,or the Wash Post, or the LA times, or the SF Chronicle misrepresenting a story, get real.

Perfect way to show how the "Spin-Cycle" works in the MSM.

Once a year the NY Times (liberal) reporters play the reporters from the NY Post (conservative)  in a game of softball.  This year the NY Times lost.  HEADLINES:   NY Times  Team places 2nd in league play for the season with only one loss.  NY Post comes in next to dead last with only one win.
