Again, my question: if other breeds are mauling children as regularly as pits, then why is that not being reported?

My guess is that while other dogs bite humans, pit bulls savagely maul humans, and that is why they're always in the news.

Exactly.

The other thing that pit bulls do that is unlike other situations where a dog attacks is that pit bulls OFTEN ATTACK THEIR OWNERS, especially CHILDREN.
