Subject: FW: Writing the news



Two boys in Boston were playing basketball when one of them was attacked
by a rabid Rottweiler.. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board
off a near by fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it,
breaking the dog's neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Boston Herald witnessed the incident and
rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into
his laptop, beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Red Sox Fan Saves
Friend >From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Red Sox fan, "the little hero interjected.

"Sorry," replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just
assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began "John Kerry Fan rescues
Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a Kerry fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the
Red Sox or Kerry or Kennedy. "What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a New York Yankees fan and I really like George W. Bush" the boy
says.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again, "Arrogant Little
Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

The tragic part is that many writers still actively engage in bias that is right next door to this hilarious example.

So very true.

A family member sent me that forward a few months ago, but it involved the Carolina Tar Hells, NC State, and Duke. I guess it has been floating around for a little while.
