In what surely should be unsurprising, a show on Comedy Central targeted an Australian Jewish military veteran after the Christchurch, New Zealand massacre by allegedly selectively editing an interview with him from months ago in order to color him as a radical and also breaking a reported pledge that the interview would not be on the same segment as any Nazi sympathizers or neo-Nazis. One problem: The Jewish veteran had taped the interview on his phone, and exposed the show’s maleficent deception.
