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!

The poor miserable bugger was cross because he was getting hammered,he went ballistic and posted his more than usual Anti-Israeli nasty crap and got deleted,for someone like this haikara who usually posts very nasty Anti-Israeli posts,to get deleted he must have gone way over the top,it must have been too much even for the Guardian……….

Are you sure that CiF hasn’t been “penetrated” by CIF Watch.Three of Berchmans posts were deleted on that thread.This brown nosed Berchmans posts NEVER get deleted,

I think that Berchmans is CiF’s house pet, rather like a mongrel dog. He has immense power, too, perhaps because he has things on the various Guardian writers?

Adam, haikara’s post is an indication of the change in the usual Guardianista knee-jerk, perseverative behaviour and it shows that CiF Watch is gaining ground: usually idiots like haikara clang on about GIYUS or complain about hasbara as though it is a group.
I think that CiF Watch has well and truly arrived.
