Indoctrinated anyone. The internet echo chambers that lonely, social outcasts who feel like the world owes them find themselves drawn to are eerily similar, whether they be for white nationalists or for Muslim extremists. Find a scapegoat, build up people who have nothing to lose by giving them a purpose, and we'll continue seeing more and more attacks from radical ideologies.
This lone wolf fundamentally probably isn't all that different than the Orlando shooter, who fundamentally wasn't all that different than the misogynist who shot down women in Santa Barbara.
Here are few things that main new media VERY QUICKLY reported.
1 - Various news outlets and political figures depicted the shooter as Muslim.
2 - Right-wing nationalist tabloids in the UK instantly linked it to Islamic violence
3 - Fox News claimed that “witnesses said at least one gunman shouted ‘Allahu akbar!’,” and then added this about the shooter’s national origin: Morocco
4 - White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer exploited the attack to justify President Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. “It’s a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the President is taking steps to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to our nation’s safety and security,” Spicer said at this afternoon’s briefing when speaking of the Quebec City attack.
The inflammatory effect of this sort of reckless, biased “reporting” is as predictable as it is toxic. All day long, people around the world cited these reports to justify Trump’s ban as well as their own ugly views of Muslims.
"Surprised" this is getting no play in this forum. Andre Bissonette is now the only suspect in the Quebec City mosque attack. Not much is known about him yet but according to his facebook page he had liked both Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen. At this point it is looking a lot like right wing terrorism.

Of course. They were also no doubt the ones who set fire to the Mosque in Texas. People on this board love to call liberals the violent ones, but Trump supporters are domestic terrorists. They are the serious threat to national security and they need extreme vetting.

You are right. And they got their information from the CBC and Reuters. Not exactly new media. But that doesn't fit in with the rest of your rant.
