As I said earlier, your propaganda won't wash with me.
As regards the press, cor tbe manority of tbe last eight years, they have fallen into line as regards the abduction scenario, despite tbe lack of evidence.
Also the xenophobia exhibited by the tabloid press towards the Portuguese and members of their police is a disgrace.
I have backed up my statements with cites. I notice the assertions made by you are sadly lacking in corroboration so perhaps you should add "In My Opinion" to your post.
Many discussions have taken place about the role of the press both as far as the search for a live child was concerned and the role it played in the demonisation of her parents.

But a source close to the Portuguese investigation said that the prevailing mood among detectives was that:
"The parents have a lot of explaining to do."
The source claimed that two DNA samples found in the McCanns' hire car - one apparently a full match to Madeleine and one partial - were of a type that suggested they had come directly from her body, rather than from clothes she had worn.
The development came as:
Social workers and police met to discuss the welfare of the McCanns' two-year-old twins, who could be placed on an "at-risk" register.
Police in Praia da Luz were preparing to search the villa where the McCanns had been staying until Sunday.
Kate McCann faced fresh slurs in the Portuguese media, with claims that she was aggressive towards her children and sometimes "out of control".
The McCanns were given police advice on how to deal with hate mail after a backlash against them gathered pace in Britain.

The couple have been subjected to constant smears in the Portuguese press, but there is also evidence that public sympathy in the UK may be on the wane.
Police confirmed an officer had discussed "security issues" with the McCanns amid fears that they would receive hate mail, and a BBC Radio 5 Live phone-in debate on the subject of "do you support the McCanns" was abandoned after a large number of messages condemning them were followed by demands from listeners that an ongoing police investigation should not be the subject of a radio phone-in.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1562710/Madeleine-McCann-DNA-an-accurate-match.htmlThere can be no doubt that the totally erroneous information published in the Portuguese press resulted in public opinion in Britain being affected by it.
By the same token there is a cogent argument to be made that the same erroneous information which was the genesis of the anti lobby ... had an affect on the search for Madeleine and in my opinion allowed the apprehension of those involved in her abduction to be put on the back burner.
Cui bono?
