Seems woke and wandered back in favour again.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Because that way they had someone other than themselves to blame
If she woke  and wandered, they only have themselves to blame for leaving doors open.

IMO

So they are not to blame for leaving the doors unlocked if it’s an abduction then?

If you wanted to distract the public or media focussing on certain theories.. Plant a story about an innocuous theory,  then plant another story that looks like you are kicking up a fuss to the theory in story 1, so more fuss is generated.

 It's deflection via employing faux outrage IMO...Look over here not over there.

Who is dong "the planting"?
Do you believe this "planting" will achieve its desired outcome of "Look over here not over there"?
Wil the media and public be distracted?

Oh it’s those canny McCanns controlling the media again...

They are, but claiming there was an abductor, then they can pass the blame and play the victim card.

If Madeleine woke and wandered something bad happened to her at the hands of others, what blame do they share, or none at all?

I believe Clarence Mitchell is doing the planting.  Yes the media and public will be distracted, many are discussing the 'wandered' theory in depth, even here. Years ago the (planted?) media narrative was one of abductors, that has lost momentum over the years of Op. Grange and them announcing Jane Tanners 'mistake'.  This current resurrected theory is also one of no parental responsibility - but not one Op. Grange have publicly put the kibosh on so far. So imo. is ripe for exploitation.
  It will distract for a while and to some degree shape the publics perceptions if police announce any other theories later on.

Would depend on what subsequently  happened, do you not think?

Unless she walked up the volcano and threw herself doen it then someone took off with her, alive or dead.  Do they shoulder any responsibility for their actions, or is it still only the McCanns at fault, in your view?

You know Clarence Mitchell works for them do you not? He is somewhat of an expert.

P.R. companies try and control narratives, they do plant stories in the media and many of them have been caught lying and getting involved in all kinds of nasty political intrigue.

Oh dear, this is somewhat at odds with other sceptics’ views on here.  They think the police are playing mind games with the McCanns via the media and are about to pounce...

It's all very confusing!
Must add to the"Look here not over there" theory.lol

What do the McCanns gain from this story that simply saying nothing at all, and having nothing at all reported about it one way or the other doesn’t get them?

The McCanns are the Penn and Teller of master criminals dontcha know.

I explained what it would get them. If you were someone that didn't want 'damaging theories' discussed in the press, give the press a silly, innocuous story to become preoccupied with.

You are supremely naive if you don't think P.R. companies do this sort of thing imo.  What do you think Clarence does all day?  Are there any McCann related stories in the last few years that don't have the 'friend of the family' source?
  What a coincidence that the McCann's 'friends' keep flapping away to the press and they are not bothered about it, it's not as if they're litigious are they?
