      The media's bizarre new obsession with (allegedly) rising anti-semitism looks like a classic moral panic with dubious empirical grounding.

      Nobody takes two seconds to wonder: is there really a sudden reemergence of this phenomenon, can it be attributed to political trends, etc.

          We *know* indisputably that Muslims and Arabs have been disproportionately victimized by recent policy. And yet media dwell on this sideshow

          Organizations like ADL have been roundly mocked in the past for their obvious alarmism/cynicism around anti-Semitism. Now they're Good again

          There is a long, documented history of media confabulating moral panics to further various political aims. People should be cognizant.

          That there's a long history in the media of confabulating moral scares to further political aims and this looks like another example

          "can it be attributed to political trends" so pol. trends are in some way a justification for bomb threats against a JCC. Got it.

          There's just a laziness with the presentation of this current scare that is really disconcerting

          I assumed it was merely increased reporting meant to give MSM a breather before diving into the next round of RUSSIAMANIA.

          The spotlight effect, which is knee jerk and narrative driven, always connects the dots regardless of causation and hard data.
