I think the reason that pitbulls make the news is because of the type of people (sorry, but it seems to be a male macho thing in the urban areas) who adopt them. You just don't see golden retrievers or labs or shih-tzus, for example, in the inner cities being walked by these types of people. It is just sick what happens. There have been so many stories about dog fighting, etc. and pitbulls always seem to be the dogs that are used. I look at Petfinder in my area and there are always so many pitties up for adoption. I cringe when I think what their fate might be in the hands of a sick human. Why can't all people just buy a dog to love and care for and bask in their unconditional love in return.
