The simple answer is: The media outlets know that the words "pit bull" get people's attention. So it probably was a slow news day & they decided to recycle a week old story because it would catch people's ear.

A while ago I read a local news story where the dog hadn't even done anything bad (I forget why it was mentioned) and wasn't the topic of the story, but they still mentioned "pit bull". I can't help but think it was because they knew that somehow that would catch someone's attention.

It's stupid.
