Because the way our media works, character assassination is an acceptable form of “journalism”. Character assassination may be used to denigrate and devalue the target of the story.
The liberals in the media grieve for this gorilla and have turned this into another Cecil the Lion story. Because they are liberal and feel the parents caused the gorilla’s death, they decided to target every sin or crime ever committed by the parents, to “explain” what led up to that fateful day at the zoo.

Turning off the damned cell phone and keeping a hand on your kid was the correct thing to do. It would have made shooting the gorilla a non-issue.
