I don't... It seems sceptics do... Martin Brunt was a journalist and broke no laws... Yet has been pilloried... I'm al for investigative journalism...

Unless they question the McCanns' story?

Twitter is part of the media... Brenda chose to het involved in promoting hatred....

No twitter is no more a part of the media than this forum or facebook Davel.  Did she always promote hatred or merely question their stories most of the time?

How many people did Brenda tweet to? 100 - 200 people or the millions that Philip Green wanted to read about his good deeds and fame.   Twitter is NOT the media however you want to make it so, IMO.
Twitter is part of that 21st century phenomenon known as “Social Media” is it not?

I’m all for that too, as long as they don’t publish speculation from unnamed sources or false information.

What difference does that make to whether or not you feel this man has been victimized by the media and worthy of your sympathy?  I don’t know if it is a police matter or not - should it be in your view?

If he acted illegally then yes, obviously.

Investigative journalism yes and if any laws have been broken pass that information on to the authorities for them to take forward. The media should never act as judge and jury.

They don’t.
Do you not read #McCann on twitter, or any of the myriad forums or comments pages where the public frequently judge the McCanns and find them guilty of all manner of crimes, from having a horrible house to murder?

Paper can be described as media as can photography if we are being picky.   Social media wouldn't have "social" in front of it if it was the mainstream media.
