A Harley Enthusiast (Biker) is strolling through the Taronga Park Zoo, Sydney, when he sees a little girl leaning into the Lions' cage.
Suddenly, a Lion pounces at the fence and grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker 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.
An ABC TV team by chance recorded the entire event. The reporter has also watched the whole event.
The reporter, addressing the biker says, 'Mate, that was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies It was nothing, really. The Lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist and tonights 7 Oclock News and 7.30 Report will run this story at the top of the program. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replied, 'I'm an SAS soldier just returned from Afghanistan and a Liberal party supporter.'
The ABC journalist makes a few notes and leaves.
That evening the biker sits down to watch the news report of his actions, and sees first thing on the news:
SAS SOLDIER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
Pretty much sums up the ABC's media's approach these days!
Now this would have to be the closest truth you will ever find Quite typical of ABC though. I wonder what that journo would have written if it was his kid that got saved??
Picture this. A journalist rings Parliament House. "Is it true that Lucy Turnbull has been raped by people at the tent embassy out front?". Reply is no. Headline reads PARLIAMENT HOUSE OFFICIAL DENIES LUCY TURNBULL RAPED AT TENT EMBASSY. True but !!!! Apparently The Truth newspaper used that sort of tactic.
