Yup. Far worse out there than the tabloid press. Plenty of far right blogs, YouTubers and social media accounts that can spread this stuff around. It's clear that the internet provides a platform for all extremists to spread their hate and it's hard to police the line between free speech and incitement to violence.
Although we have no idea of what happened here I would guess it's more likely he slowly got poisoned by the internet and those groups rather than the press.
