This documentary about Celtic and Rangers aired on Al Jazeera last night and was more or less a mentally challenged propaganda piece (has to be seen to be believed). This isn't fake outrage or blue tinted specs it's just facts if you watch it. That's not the issue. It's what they say about us not them.
Various slurs were made against Rangers fans basically summing us up as sectarian bigots. The stuff about protestants in Belfast in particular was a disgrace. This isn't something to get angry about on here and just forget about, this is something seriously damaging to our reputation given Al Jazeera's audience. I'm no lawyer but I wonder if action could be be taken against the new channel for slander.
EDIT: As well as lies and a particular slant which you might expect them to get away with some of it was downright sectarian/racist whatever you want to call it. They explicitly called NI Catholics "progressive, internationalist, outgoing" while protestants are supposedly "inward looking" with a "siege mentality".
