I'm not sure how much of this is "media response". Politicians and people on the street are also blaming refugees, advocating bombinb Syria... at a certain level, the media is just reporting that.
(of course, talking about "The Media" is always problematic because it's difficult to sum up as one blob. There are, of course, bad actors in the blob)
