Nightly political comedy shows are known for editing hour long interviews into 2-3min clips to purposefully make people look bad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jim_Jefferies_Show#Avi_Yemini_interview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jim_Jefferies_Show#Avi_Yem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCQhAezB_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCQhAezB_Q During filming Jim Jefferies attempted to rile up a Jewish activist named Avi Yemini. Which included Jefferies "drawing Mohammed in front of Yemini on a small white board" and saying anti-semetic things (kippahs "look dumb"). Then edited the interview to make Yemini look like a fringe alt-right figure, typical of those who inspired the NZ shooter. Even though the Avi told Jefferies team he wished to have zero association with those people before and during the interview, correctly suspecting that might be their intention.
