Reply #108: I'm sorry [View All]

But I'm just having a hard time swallowing the media bias story. Am I really to believe that the media is spinning this whole pit bull thing. What are they doing, getting all these stories of other breeds mauling people? And the stories come in, and then the jounralist types it up and gets it ready to go, and the editor says "Sorry, Joe, that's a no go." "Why, Sue?" "It's not a pit bull". And this is happening in newsrooms across America? I'm sorry. I just can't buy that. It doesn't make sense. I happen to know for a fact that my local If it Bleeds It Leads would splash a German Sheperd Baby Mauling! 24/7. But, every time a child is mauled in this city? It's a pit bull. Almost every time. Stats in every major city point to pit bulls. But for some reason, you point those stats out, and you get shouted down. They're wrong! Because they're backed by the media. And the media is biased. Well, isn't that convenient. Of course the media is biased.

If those studies are out there, they'd be available on the internet. If those studies were out there, they'd be trumpeted every single time these threads came up, and there'd links to them right this second. But, sure. I'll be happy to go to the library and look them up. But I have a feeling I'm not going to find too much.

Of course in the past it was other breeds. The pit bull is a more recent phenomenon. They are exploding in population. Shelters are crammed full of them. It really is a sad, awful situation. I really wish people weren't in such deep, awful denial over this. People, as well as dogs, are suffering awfully.
