I remember thinking the same at the time, unfortunately for Brenda it was a slow news day all day with very little else going on elsewhere so Brunt's doorstepping feature received overly exposure. Had there been something of newsworthy significance going on the story might never even been aired.
It wsan't just Sky though it was nearly all UK media. I am sure that the Daily Mail were passed Brenda's identity as well as Sky as they were very quick on the mark naming her etc. it would appear.
However newsworthy the McCanns are this was way over the top IMO.
Davel next time there is a McCann story. Don't search google news for "McCann" just see if it is there. It probably won't appear on the front page of the search. Brenda did.
I expect you hoped that all the others in the dossier were outed in the same manner too.
OK Davel it was up to the media and you think it is fine for nearly every media outlet to call Brenda a trxll again and again and again for days.
