89. It means they are misclassifying and reporting erroneously.

Many times dogs that aren't AKC pitbulls are reported as being such because that sells more papers. Which of these dogs is an AKC pitbull? Give it to a reporter and see if they can pick it out. Unless they know their AKC breeds well, they will probably have problems. So, why do you think a dog attack is reported as a "pitbull attack" and later it comes out it was a different type dog? Why is the retraction not given front page coverage?
