CiF’s Bella Mackie (Alan Rusbridger’s daughter who, thanks to CiF Watch got into some trouble engaging in ad homimen attacks against a prominent Jewish writer some time ago) has a series titled, “What do you want to talk about”?, which invites Guardian readers to share their thoughts on topics they’re interested in, or suggest a story worth reporting.
The Sept. 2 edition of Mackie’s column elicited this reader comment:
Yes, the jig is up and I’m ready to come clean.
CiF Watch’s global reach has allowed us the operational capacity to covertly place CiF Watch agents within key positions of “seemingly” anti-Zionist propaganda broadsheets like the Guardian.
What seems, to the untrained eye, to be a newspaper with a visceral, ideologically inspired hostility to the Jewish state in truth actually represents the results of an international covert effort to discredit the anti-Zionist left by planting commentary and news reports containing the most absurd, inflammatory, and bigoted narratives about Israel – tropes which mirror what’s advanced by paleoconservative commentators like Pat Buchanan – at a newspaper which fancies itself a liberal voice.
Well, we had a good run, and the plan was successful beyond our wildest dreams.
However, now that we’ve been exposed, and operations fatally disrupted, we can expect to see the Guardian return to advancing an editorial line in sync with actual liberal values – such as a passionate opposition to antisemitism and support for Zionism consistent with the progressive politics of the Guardian’s former owner and editor, C.P. Scott.
In fact, the Guardian is already reporting on the CiF Watch subterfuge, and – as we still have some agents whose identity haven’t yet been compromised – have an advance copy of the tomorrow’s Guardian.

Not bad, Adam. I’ll give you a 7.5.

Bella Mackie is Alan Rusbridger’s daughter? If anything, it smacks of workplace nepotism. Such practice goes against all liberal values.

Not only this but David Leigh – the Guardian’s investigations executive editor who disclosed the password to access the unedited Wikileaks files and Alan Rusbridger are brothers in law.

Sounds like it’s a family business all around. No wonder the paper is inching closer and closer to bankruptcy.

“STOP PRESS: NEWSPAPER EDITOR IN NEPOTISM SHOCK!
November 13, 2009
By Duncan Robinson
There’s a bit of a hoo-hah on Twitter about the revelation that – and you might want to sit down before hearing this – A NEWSPAPER EDITOR HAS EMPLOYED HIS OWN DAUGHTER! That’s right, The Guardian’s editor, Alan Rusbridger pulled a few strings and got his daughter a job. Prior to Rusbridger’s disgraceful actions, journalism had of course been a nepotism-free zone. Journalists were recruited entirely on merit rather than lineage…”

I saw a post on Mackie’s “What do you want to talk about?” page, which was polite and asked for an analysis of nepotism in public life and its effects on people’s careers.
I hope that person is not holding his/her breath…
Dunno whether the post is still there.

No need of an e-mail- I’m hacking into Definitelynotashark’s “private computer” via the attached print-screen. There, done. What the… who’s Alan Rusbridger? and why does he call himself Definitelynotashark?

A couple of CiF posters have insinuated that yours truly is actually a covert CiFWatch operative. That’s how bonkers they are.
And moderators hacking posters’ emails?? I’ll bet Definitelynotashark is into D&D and believes in the Matrix.

Are you not Pretzel? Tell us the truth please! What are they paying you? Is there any opening for me too?

It wasn’t definitelynotashark who wrote that comment(he was only citing it) it was ‘motherofallmods’ at 11.46. he/she also accuses myself&’stmoniker’ of making ‘explicit threats to posters we dislike’, despite the fact we’ve never exchanged comments.

I actually saved the entire MotherofallMods comment that is quoted here, as I couldn’t quite believe my eyes first time and I knew it wouldn’t stay up long. Would anybody be interested in the full version?
