Has the Daily Star plunged to new depths of depravity?
« on: May 22, 2013, 12:23:58 AM »
The Daily Star today went with the headline, 'Maddie' found in Ireland after yesterday going with 'Maddie' found in Greece while printing pictures of the missing 10-year-old alongside the articles.

Has the British Press yet again shown themselves to be totally out of control and unfit to practise self regulation?

Was Leveson a useless exercise and a complete waste of money after all?

 reached an all time low by printing such a headline?

A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.
Indeed, the truth never changes with the passage of time.

Thanks to Kazcutt for posting the links to the Daily Star.

What do members think about these headlines which have only one objective and that is to sell papers?

Just put yourself in the shoes of Kate and Gerry for a moment,  would you like to read these calculated lies if it was your kid?

Sincerely, John, I think there is much worse than those obviously ridiculous headlines. Cheating readers they risk to loose them and will have to readjust.
Do you really think the McCanns are hoping when the person close to them claims their hope is refreshed ?

Quite Anne, It was Clarence Mitchell who spoke of their hope, need we say any more?

The moral is, don't buy The Star. We need a free press. Having our unfit government control the information we get is a truly terrifying prospect.

they are seasoned to them over the years so its more like water off a ducks back to them...their spokesmans comments are just lip service to the idea Madeleine may well be alive and findable, awful that they hijack every case reported though.......even when it has ZERO connection....I remember the papers reporting on Claudia Lawrence vigil, Kate Mccanns photo was all over the front pages like it had sod all to do with her....her family  given a back seat!!

Wonder what the families of these children feel being connected with Madeleine Mccanns "abduction" but they dont matter, they are children stealing gypsies........cough

Want to live in a country with state controlled media?  Then why not move to North Korea or China, I'm told they have impressive human rights records...

I'm with you there Cariad, slippery slope to dictatorship, the next step is banning freedom of expression all together.

Another shameful aspect of this type of sensationalist reporting is the way the plight of other children is hijacked  so that they become almost inconsequential in their own right and serve only as a footnote in the Madeleine McCann story
