Oh Dear.  Same old same old.  But Sceptics are never quite so keen to discuss the trashing of their ideas.

....and vice-versa Eleanor.

[Mr Gray]

Sunday 8.30 | The disappearance of Madeleine McCann has continued to captivate the world for nearly ten years.
Maddie was only three years old when she vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal.
The police search that followed became the largest in Portugal's history - but no trace of the missing toddler was ever found.
Now, new developments in the case could finally reveal the truth about what happened to little Maddie.

so what new developments could this be...it has to be the ones SY are talking about.....what else

[Eleanor]

Perhaps the UK tabloids should take note. They would look extremely foolish if they lost a libel trial to Amaral.

This is never going to happen.

He put himself into the public arena by writing his book and making many television appearances. As long as nothing libellous is printed, he can't complain whether he likes it or not.

Key word.....'could'.

[Mr Gray]

Agreed, which is why I predict a rehash, with nothing new coming out.

The 'news' at this time coming out on Madeleine since Amaral's court victory seems to have swung more anti-McCann in Australia.  Hence my interest in is it fact or fiction, and does it have bias.

I am curious as to Barclay's input.  Will that be a rehash too?

as I have said...the journalist leading the programme has already supported the mccanns decision not to take a lie detector test and also says many parents have left children alone in hotel rooms....i think i can see that this programme is going to be strong on  the truth and be supportive of the mccanns

Kindly remember your prediction when the programme has aired.

This comment does not make sense.

This comment does not make sense.

The only clarification I can offer is to suggest you read the link, because I cannot see what you think does not make sense in my post.

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

[ShiningInLuz]

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.

[faithlilly]

I asked a very reasonable question. Is it a mistake by the Mirror that they are advising the public to send information to the Find Madeleine investigation team rather than Operation Grange? What is goading about that?

Natasha Donn has never been unbiased.  I fact, she has never been even remotely informed.

What Australia thinks of this is irrelevant..  This was the country that locked up Lindy Chamberlaine for three years.  Really not the best example.

Australia should put it's own house in order before it goes mouthing off with some stuff that might decide what might have happened to Madeleine.

Whilst I have not seen anything like every article Natasha has written, those that I have seen strike me as balanced.

Her issue with wrt being informed is much the same as any journalist.  If they have to churn out 3 stories per working day, they have to cover 750 plus case-stories per year.  I have not yet found a journalist who gets this trick right.

As to Australia, if Madeleine happens to be alive, she deserves consideration in countries worldwide.  Whether she gets it is another matter.
