According to Cohen’s (1972) Folk Devils and Moral Panic, a moral panic occurs when “a condition, episode, person, or group of persons emerge to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests”
UK Journalists have behaved like a packl of braying dogs around Donald Cummings Which makes on think of 'pack' behaviour.
For a phenomenon to be classified as a moral panic, Cohen (1972) argued that five essential principles must be satisfied:
concern (i.e., a legitimate belief that the behavior has a negative effect on society),
hostility (i.e., a clear division of an “us” versus “them” must be formed as hostility toward the behavior increases),
consensus (i.e., widespread acceptance that the behavior poses a real threat to society),
disproportionality (i.e., the solutions enforced must be seen as disproportionate to the actual threat posed),
and volatility (i.e., moral panics are high unstable and tend to evaporate quickly)
