Mitchell: McCanns move funds from Madeleine Fund to another account.

[Alfred R Jones]

yes you may I challenged a mod over and over that was all...happy now? Good

You wouldn't let it lie!

It seems to have caused a sensation in some quarters!  However a story doesn't have to be sensational or controversial for journos to misreport and get facts wrong.  Over the years I have been interviewed by the press for various reasons on numerous occasions and pretty much every time have had words attributed to me that I did not actually say.  I don't know why journos do this but it seems to be part of their job description.

You're not Mitchell though.

(I assume).

You'll have me weeping for him in a minute.

Your post makes no sense.   What has me not being Mitchell got to do with what I wrote? And what did I write that gave you the impression I was asking you to be shedding tears for the man?

You're proposing that the Mirror didn't just slightly misquote him, but that they completely invented a story about a new account being used. That scenario hasn't anything to do with your experience of being slightly misquoted has it. It's an absurd scenario.

No, I'm not proposing that the Mirror completely invented the story, please don't misquote me now!  See how easily it's done?!

The Sunday Times article was a big story, to a great many, but the words attributed to Mitchell in the Mirror (fair enough, it isn't actually a direct quotation) barely even interests us fanatics. Ergo, why would anyone bother inventing them or exaggerating/twisting what was actually said? Nobody would.

the papers don't have to change anything...just quoting out of context is enough to change the meaning. The sceptics just want to ignore any evidence or quote  which doesn't fit with their conclusions...mercury is a perfect example of this...

[Mr Gray]

The Times settled out of court because they had printed libel...they also printed an apology. The other papers did not print the Times story...they printed a different version which did not blame the McCanns....those are the facts...posters are posting more and more untruths on here...that's why I post..to expose the lies

On whose behalf were the photo fits produced ?

As a general rule and not necessarily referring to you...I'm getting a bit fed up getting involved in discussions with idiots...if you get my drift

As a general rule I tend to prefer to converse with people who can present a logical argument and not repeatedly BS.....if you get my drift.

It interested one fanatic enough to start a new thread about it on here didn't it?!  I'm not repeat NOT suggesting that the Mirror invented anything, simply that they rather carelessly in the rush to post stories put their own interpretation on what Clarence actually said.  I fully acknowledge that I may be wrong, but either way it really matters not a jot, unless (like the fanatic who started this thread) you think there is something wrong or deeply worrying about them putting money aside in a separate account?
