"Why is this (gorilla) story gaining so much attention?"

Because the media is SENSATIONALIZING EVERYTHING these days.

There's so much competition for breaking news, unique angles, and dramatic stories among the media and their writers, reporters, pundits, producers, directors, hosts, "experts" and "analyists" that they have to latch onto any incident, cherry-pick controversial sound-bites, pick at every minor nit and scab, exaggerate this and downplay that..... all the while they emphasize the bizarre, whip up emotions, slant things, leave things out, lie about things, fake things, manipulate things, attack whom they hate....all to grab headlines and lure readers, listeners and viewers to their particular media site and individual personas.

Within the media it's constant dog-eat-dog rivalry and pressure, competition and power trips.

Why does Fox flash the blaring "BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!" every 15 minutes when most of isn't genuine "breaking" at all...and now they all do it. It's because it's all about "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!"....and the end result of this frenetic media maelstrom is the fact that REAL professional journalism be damned and, as Hannity said tonight...no longer exists (with some exceptions of course).

I SO agree with everything you said...it's time that WE the American People shut down the media...all of it, the paid talking heads and radio show hosts; the online media twits; and the Clinton News Network...BOYCOTT!!!

Don't watch, don't listen and read only those articles that are not put on here by people who are still trying to take down Trump, like Huffington Post and the like, and we all know who runs these 24/7....this is the only way we can get this stopped, if we don't listen, watch or read garbage that they put out, they will stop...look at Target, they won't accept the truth, but it's the boycott that is causing this...look at what happened with Chick-fla-lay when we stood up for them...and just look at where Trump is today by all of us American People and Voters that are behind him....we can do this!!!
