For the former, the Inquisition repudiated the mage rebellion. For the latter, Venatori. Most of them seem to narrowly favor the mages.
They absolutely are. All blame ascribed to them for the rebellion, with the assumption that the rebellion was unjust, is the product of idiots (as opposed to the Venatori thing, which may be more legitimately criticized).
"Everyone who doesn't agree with me is an idiot and their opinion is invalid"
Never mind that describes the overwhelming majority of Thedosians.
I actually have dialogue to post here.
Lysas:The Templars broke away too. Isn't that worse? They took an oath. And yet they call it the mage rebellion. We're the ones they hate.
Fiona: All hope of peace died with Justinia. Most of Thedas blames us for her death.
(and there is more but my DAI is updating for the multiplayer expansion so, I can't go check right now)
When I arrived, a crowd of citizens in Jader were pressed up against the hall of a local noble. They demanded the nobles give them the man accused of being an abomination, Noam Willit, for "justice." Willit came out, not wishing his hosts to suffer, and they swarmed him for his courage.
I stepped between him and the crowd, and the sight of a templar's armor brought the people back to their senses. I persuaded them to leave the matter to us. It is good thing I did, as Willit is no abomination, only a mage newly come into his powers. He is timid but grateful, and willing to begin his training when we return.

A situation is unfolding in the Nevarran city of Cumberland, location of the College of Magi--which, until the outbreak of the Mage Rebellion, was the philosophical heart of the Circles of Magi. Now mostly abandoned, it has become the home to a number of mage refugees. This has drawn the ire of local citizens, and mobs are threatening to assault the college and burn it to the ground, with Duke Sandral Anaxas doing nothing to stop them. Inquisition agents suspect that Venatori agents are behind the mobs, looking to recover artifacts from the college once its magical defenses are breached.
(The involvment of Venatori is irrelevant because if people did not hate mages to begin with, they wouldn't have been able to incite them to becoming a lynching mob)
Hasmal’s Circle sustained significant damage during the uprising. Rather than follow the Lord Seeker, many of our Templars elected to remain and deal with the aftermath, but our resources are limited. Furthermore, we have loyalist mages with us. Hasmal’s people would happily throw them to the wolves even though they had nothing to do with the rebellion. As it stands, I fear we may fail in our duty to protect them.
A report given to Commander Cullen:
We arrived in Perendale to find that the mages had indeed barricaded themselves inside their former Circle. They met us with some hostility on entry, but the mages were small in number and their defense easily dispelled. Upon questioning, we discovered that the mages had remained in Perendale following the uprisings. With increasing hostility from the general public, they retreated to the Circle for safety. They appealed to us for aid. It is the opinion of the Order that these mages are not a threat; we have brought them to the Inquisition so that they might aid our cause.
Had we not interceded, the danger these mages posed to the public—or the public to the mages—could easily have ended in bloodshed.

We found several murdered mages just off the road. If the victims were blood mages, there were no obvious signs—no cuts on the palms or the like—but it's difficult to say. The victims appear to have been stabbed. It's possible maleficarum are responsible, using their fellows to power some ritual. It's also possible these were former Circle mages, killed by ordinary men over hearsay.
In the face of this, do you have any evidence beyond
The public is never shown to trust the Inquisition any less.
