But that's the climate, of course someone blamed the media and Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow and whatnot immediately for the deed of a lunatic. Of course that happened, for that's how the US seems to roll. Stirring the pot, appreciating the opportunity. 

But that's not a given. It's what people choose to make out of it.

(Btw. the "radical left" media reports about that all day long, they don't blame anyone, they don't sweep it under the rug... they offer condolences and say it's appalling and that's that.)

Of course they wouldn't blame anyone, he was on "their side".  Rest assured that roles would be reversed were it a Trump supporter.  It goes as far back as Bill Clinton blaming talk radio for Timothy McVeigh.  It happened in the Aurora shooting when some newsguy found a person with the same name on facebook who was a TEA Party member.  Went right to camera with it. Or when they tried to blame the bullseyes Sarah Palin had drawn on districts in the Gabby Giffords shooting.
