> The Scott Trust has failed to preserve a newspaper that is fiercely independent. > nepotist trap it has fallen into. Would you care to elaborate on these a little bit? I'm a long time supporter of Guardian and this is the first time I've seen a nepotism complaint.

I guess it's Alan Rusbridger employing his wife and daughter: http://www.anorak.co.uk/393065/reviews/nepotism-watch-the-guardians-rusbridger-mackie-family-are-looking-for-comment.html/ http://www.anorak.co.uk/393065/reviews/nepotism-watch-the-gu...

  Nice find, thank you. If this is true, the Guardian should definitely address it. I'll probably write to them myself after investigating a bit.

  OT: Are you the same gadders who used to hang out on the Popbitch board?
  - gadders 9y ago
    Yes, but I left that life behind. You had the same username there?
    - 0898 9y ago
      Kind of. I'm not the 0898 from Popbitch. I just stole their handle on Hackernews.

        What was your popbitch handle then?
