Default Fretwell reports the news... :)

Our own Greg Fretwell reports the news…

Today from London, a man on vacation in London was visiting the zoo when
he saw 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 his
cage, right under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The man ran to the cage and hit 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 man brings her to her terrified parents, who thank
him profusely.

Reporter Fretwell watched the event and says to the fellow, “Sir, this
was the most gallant and brave thing I've ever seen a man do in my
lifetime.”

The man replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars.
I just saw this little girl in danger and acted as I felt right.”

Fretwell says, “Well, I'll make sure this doesn't go unnoticed. I'm a
journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page.”

“So, what country are you from, what do you do for a living and what
political affiliation do you have?," Fretwell asks the man. He replies,
"I'm from Israel. I’m a captain in the Israeli army and I vote for the
Likud."

Fretwell leaves.

The following morning the Israeli buys the paper to see news of his
actions, and reads, on the front page:

"RIGHT-WING ISRAELI ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS
LUNCH."

I want to read reporter Fretwell's account of Harry Krause breaking his
forearm striking a skinny little guy on the side of the head for no
known legitimate reason.

That was a story about a guy tripping over a curb, texting on his
I-Phone

Either way it makes Krause out to be a bumbling fool

I am sure I'd rather get the scoop from GFretwell than I would from Rachael Maddow. He may not be as cute, but is at least has sanity.

degreed "journalist".
