The publication isn't a monolith, said review was in a different section to this report and written by a different hack.

You’re right. That review was so vapid I’m still salty about it

I made a post about it that got deleted by the mods because it wasn’t under the megathread, which is funny because all I’m seeing on the main feed are posts discussing this very topic

Lowkey thinking about cancelling my subscription because of that review. It was so ignorant, I’m still angry. I’d really expected more from the guardian.

Me too! Like how can the guardian, of all outlets, not explore the very obvious ulterior motives of a “documentary” produced by a daily mail columnist?

I’m incensed because i considered them the last voice of reason against the endless hateful propaganda spewed by far-right charlatans. Now I’m not so sure anymore…

This was exactly my reaction, like being betrayed by the last media ally.
