A "feeding frenzy" is a time in politics when an unfortunate event may occur for one political person/party and the oppsers (other parties or media) attack on this event. They use it as a tool to attack the other side and may sometimes take it out of context. An example of a "frenzy" that turned into a "feeding frenzy" was during the 1988 US Senate Campaign in Virginia. Former Governor of Virginia, Chuck Robb, was accused in attending parties where cocaine was being used heavily. The frenzy was investigated from May 1987 until it was widely exposed in August 1998 in a local newspaper. He was also accused of being with other women besides his wife during their marriage.
