The press reported accurately on the situation. There was, in fact, more than one nazi flag flying in the convoy. Should the media ignore that fact?
Then trucker supporters subtly changed the narrative that suddenly the 'media' (aka the enemy of the people according to maga Trump types and the ultra right wing) was saying that the truckers were
all being labeled as nazis and racists, when in fact no one in the media did so. Others may have read the reports and drawn those conclusions, but that's on the people who allowed the nazi flags and the racist behaviors into the convoy, not on the media for accurately reporting on them.
Further the 'leader', by whom I presume you mean your arch enemy Trudeau, saying that Ottawa citizens should not have to wake up to nazi flags was, in fact, making an accurate statement. They should not. And the fact that they did is 100% on the people in the convoy who permitted them. And further on those who would desecrate Canada's national monuments. Which was also accurate reporting by 'the media'.
But of course in the world of the right wing, accurate reporting is the enemy, because it doesn't allow them to lie at will. See Trump, Donald.

I do not support them either at all but the liberals created this mess and good luck on getting out of it. I would be curious if anyone has a solution to this mess
The liberals did NOT create the mess, the virus did. And the truckers are exacerbating everything by launching a meaningless protest into mandates that the feds don't even control. Furthermore, most truckers are vaccinated, so essentially all these dirtballs want to do is to be able to wander around potentially infecting people with covid and killing a non-zero number of them. F*ck them, the rest of us have to put up with mask mandates and closures and vax passes and our lives and livliehoods being under attack for two years, but these f*cks can't be bothered to do their part even now when we're so close to the finish line.
I'm fine with them sending in the army, taking them all into custody and pulling all of their licenses for like five years. By which time their buddy Elon that they're so happy to have supporting them will have rendered 'truckers' obsolete with a fleet of self-driving electric trucks. It will look good on them.
