The press in the uk are about 90% behund the Mccann family and always have been. Some reported some stories frm abroad which were not favourable, but all in all it has been a positive press over the years.

I think you'll find Leveson disagrees with you on that one...

I can only presume that you are not familiar with the Leveson Enquiry.

Quote from Leveson report.

 In his submissions opening Module One of the Inquiry, David Sherborne, Counsel for the Core Participant Victims, described the press treatment of the McCanns as a 'national scandal': not merely had they suffered the personal tragedy of the abduction of their daughter, they were subjected to a barrage of press reporting which could only be fairly characterised as a diatribe. Clearly, therefore, it is appropriate to take the experience of the McCanns as a 'case study' warranting further examination for the light it throws on the culture, practices and ethics of the press. Their case is also highly illuminating in the context of the action, or rather the inaction, of the PCC.

Leverson.

Cowing down to the mccanns.

I wonder if Leverson would like to provide the evidence of abduction ?


Meanwhile benice, can you remind me of any press conference or media opportunity in this country when the mccanns were questioned as to their version of events, and not heralded/controlled by thge media manipulator himself, Mitchell ?

Actually, Stephen ... the Drs McCann are not the story.  Madeleine is.

Now that at long last Madeleine McCann's disappearance is being investigated by two professional policing bodies, you will note that the Drs McCann have become almost invisible.

And long may it remain so.

LOL - so you think Lord Justice Leveson and the legal team representing all of the victims of the press - are also part of some massive conspiracy - where everyone has to do what the McCanns tell them to do.

Hilarious!

Hardly hilarious.

Levers on showed his limitations by believing the mccanns with no evidence to back it up.

Now remind me when any press conference or media event in the last years in this country, when the mccanns accounts of events were questioned ?

Something tells me I will have a long wait. %£&)**# %£&)**# %£&)**#

Really.

Can you remind me of how much mccann talks about herself in the book compared to Madelerine  ?

At least you've got that right.  I shan't be replying because:

1. You consistently refuse to answer any of my questions

and

2. I'm too busy laughing at your belief that Lord Justice Leveson was 'cowing down' to the McCanns.

Of course, Leveson cowed down to the McCanns. No serious questions were asked of them and the conclusions were already decided long before the inquiry ended. Sloppy work by all involved.

Are you still a believer in the early press stories  such as ...

Daily Express ~ 'McCANNS ARE LYING'
Sunday Express ~ McCANNS 'ARE HIDING A BIG SECRET'
Daily Mirror ~ McCANN FRIENDS 'CHANGE THEIR STORY'
Daily Express ~ 'SYRINGE FOUND IN MADELEINE'S APARTMENT'
Evening Standard ~ 'CORPSE IN McCANN CAR'
Daily Express ~ Madeleine  DNA PUTS PARENTS IN THE FRAME

If like the rest of the world you have discounted the lies churned out by a 'source close to the investigation' and replicated in the British press for home consumption ... do you have an explanation for your extraordinary antipathy towards Madeleine McCann's parents.

They have worked how unwise it was to leave the children in the apartment ... so you must be basing your opinion on something which has really annoyed you for eight years ... the way Gerry pulls his ear, or the press coverage?

No, the real reason is you can't answer the questions.

I don't' refuse to answer your questions benice.

However, what is extremely is your pathetic excuse not to respond to the truth.

Hmmm ... another one to add to the list ...  £4%4£ ... Leveson was innit too.
