It's not only the media but also the political campaign industry. Some inner city council person somewhere says they hate Jewish people and suddenly their opponent for city council has nationwide fundraising support. Same for some small town mayor saying they don't want "those people" in his town. Now there's money flooding in nationwide for his opponent in the election. In a country of 330 million, there's always a politician somewhere saying something reprehensible. Political parties and their fundraising wings love finding these incidents and then making money off of them.
