Madeleine: Police believe parents killed her - it is claimed Gerry and Kate McCann appear to be losing their composure as they come under closer scrutiny and probing from the Portugese media. The old saying: "live by the media, die by the media" is for them becoming a truism. The McCanns have played the Portugese police for fools and are now upset that the police are leaking to the media. It looks to me like poetic justice. The McCanns played the worlds media, particularly the British media, to their advantage as they advanced their version of events which claimed that Madeleine had been abducted. And, criticised the Portugese police for not finding Madeleine on this false trail that they had dreamed up for them to pursue.
UPDATE: The forgotten victim in the McCann case.
BBC coverage. I think it is a bit rich coming from Gerry McCann to say that it is not necessary to "bombard people on a daily basis" with Madeleine's image. That is precisely what he did and what he wanted. His complaint is that he no longer has control of the media. The honeymoon period is over Gerry, you had better get used to it. There is one way to end the speculation, and that is to tell the media and the police what really happened to Madeleine.
John, not only is he suddenly complaining about the media now it has turned against him, he also bitches about the "huge amounts written with no substance". What, like the whole 'Maddy was abducted' angle, of which there is no evidence whatsoever?
ReplyDeleteI read earlier in the week on teletext that the Portugese Police had instructed the McCanns not to leave Portugal - presumably because something was about to happen. Yet Gerry is in Edinburgh this weekend, speaking at a festival about television and the media - and there is talk of all of them (minus Madeleine) returning to the UK, in order for him to pick up his career.
ReplyDeleteDavid: Yes, its only report my news or no news at all. The police and Mark Warner have said all along that there was no evidence to support a break-in or abduction.
ReplyDeleteLiz: I have read those reports. I suspect that the police did not want them suddenly fleeing when they are closing in on them. Would you be their patient: "trust me I'm a doctor". No doubt Madeleine trusted them...

ReplyDeleteanonymous: I am aware of that saying. The media have paraphrased it to cover anyone who messes with them.
