"In modern America, though, cherry-picking looks like a sophisticated rhetorical device compared to the trend called nutpicking. (Not, mind you, 'nitpicking,' which is pointing out irrelevant details just to antagonize.) 'Nutpicking' is when people scour the news to find a random person saying or doing something really dumb, and then use that nutjob to disparage an entire group of people, as if the nut is representative."
