Australian Ch7 documentary claims new lead in search for missing Madeleine McCann.

[Robittybob1]

Has anyone noticed that the Mirror articles all point the public to the findmadeleine investigation if they have any information and not OG. A slip of the pen.....?

Anyone with information about Madeleine McCann’s disappearance should call the Find Madeleine investigation line on: 0845 8n384699 or email: investigation@findmadeleine.com

If OG is closing down it would be a mistake to send them information at this late stage.

[Mr Gray]

I think the correct term is unbiased, because I happen to remain unbiased.

I have not been posting my views of the McCanns.  I have been posting scraps of information about the forthcoming special.

Davel has predicted that it will be supportive of the McCanns.  I am of the opinion it will be heavily critical of the McCanns.  This difference of opinion matters not a jot as we will soon find out the reality of the situation.

In the OP I made it clear I was less interested in the content of the programme, which I strongly suspect will be froth, and more about what it reveals about sentiment in Australia.

I found Natasha Donn's view on the UK take and the Portuguese take informative.  I am simply hoping to get a view on the Australian take.

I don't think biased is the right word.
There are supporters and sceptics
I'm a supporter based on tha available evidence
You have been highly critical of the McCanns .... on occasions very unfairly imo and have aligned yourself with the sceptics. Anyone who thinks Natasha Donne writes balanced articles is definitely anti McCann imo

Well, apparently, the program will be available tomorrow morning UK time, at about 11.30.

Anyone who thinks that Australia's Channel 7 will bring anything other than opinion and speculation to the Maddie case will be sorely disappointed. Yet again we see a news organisation prepared to speculate on a high profile case just in order to attract viewers and fill their coffers.   Watch as more and more of them clamber aboard this particular bandwagon as May 3rd draws near.

That Angelo sums up the situation precisely.

does anyone think tehy will bring anything new to the case...of course they wont.

But they will bring opinion and it will be interesting to see what that opinion is......I think they will follow the evidence and support the mccanns innocence and that will not go down well with the sceptics on the net

This program is merely hype.

It will add nothing new.

It'll be a load of crap - nothing more, nothing less.

An ex-SIO appearing in the programme has stated he has participated in 2 other 10th anniversary specials, and that he expects the one from Sky to be the most balanced.

I do believe we can look forward to a veritable cornucopia of cr*p.

you have stated that you expect it to be highly critical of the mccanns...I think you are very wide of the mark.

Does balanced means it agrees with your views..

What what I have heard from the programme it will be factual...which is excellent...she seems to understand the evidence...unlike some on here and elsewhere

Admittedly posts on this board don't make money or fill any coffers.

But otherwise, how would you say posts on this board differ from the (likely) content of the programme?

[ShiningInLuz]

Onward and upward.

I have a reader of my blog who resides in Australia and describes Channel 7 as not being a high quality source.  We may get direct feedback from my reader about how well Channel 7 does this time around.  I dare say someone in the Aussie press will cover this 'blockbuster' in any event.

It won't make a difference to anything.
