While I agree, those supporting a group often get painted with the same brush as speech holders use in their arguments, as such if all we hear is that leavers are supporting for x reasons xenophobic e.t.c. then that's what people paint with.
Unfortunately this is because, at least in my book, the more reasonable stuff, really doesn't make good headlines, personally I think all media should be held accountable for what and how they spread information, right now it is just a competition to get the most sensationalism to get the most people to read/click, though the blame doesn't lie with them entirely, but also with us, we buy stuff if it is more sensational, thus they sell more of that. A bad cycle only consumers can break, but at least seemingly worldwide general population has become very apathetic. Which is unfortunate.
