I was about to post on yet another inexplicable deletion by CiF moderators of a pro-Israel comment beneath the line of today’s Guardian editorial, “Israel and Turkey: sailing into choppy waters“, when I came across this:
This reader’s comment – suggesting that CiF moderators are pro-CiF Watch – is especially enjoyable in light of our post yesterday about a Guardian reader who suggested to Bella Mackie (Alan Rusbridger’s daughter), in a CiF open forum, that CiF Watch may have agents placed in key positions at the Guardian.
While it’s certainly flattering that the anti-Israel Left may entertain notions of our blog’s global Zionist subterfuge, and conjure a grassroots media watchdog whose tentacles have even managed to penetrate a UK media Goliath as hostile to Israel as the Guardian, the notion that CiF moderators (who routinely delete comments with links to CiF Watch posts) are biased in favor of CiF Watch is simply hilarious.
Oh, wait, this just in!
