A few isolated incidents involving members of an out-group receive intense coverage and are presented as a growing threat, while broader data show no increase. How is this related to scapegoating?
A
A moral-panic-style amplification can heighten perceived threat and make the group a target for broad blame unsupported by the trend data.
B
No increase in data means the incidents at no point occurred.
C
Intense coverage ensures that the incidents represent the whole group.
D
Scapegoating requires that media at no point mention any event.
