Hat tip Vlad Tepes
On Wednesday of this week, a performance of the Jewish play, "Fiddler on the Roof" was interrupted by a man yelling "Heil Hitler, heil Trump". Many in the media in both the US and Canada incorrectly reported that the man in question was a Trump supporter. Vlad Tepes, a Canadian-based blog reports on how the Canadian news outlet, Global News, misreported the incident.
Anything but.

This points out just how bad the media has become on both sides of the border. It was also a Trump hater who carried out the mass murder in the Pittsburgh synagoge. Yet, President Trump got blamed for the "atmosphere of hate" that led to the murders. The mayor of Pittsburgh and certain Jewish and Christian leaders didn't want him to come to Pittsburgh to express his solidarity with the Jewish community.
Not only is this grossly unfair to Trump; it is unfair to the public, which depends on our media to get it right. Yes, the quote from the guy in Baltimore could be interpreted in more than one way. But the man himself set the record straight. He is no Trump supporter.
This is how public opinion gets formed. This is how so many people walk around totally uninformed and misinformed.
