The Gerry and Kate McCann show intend to mark the one hundredth day of Madeleine's disappearance, this Saturday, with a series of events, starting with a collective media interview this Friday, according to the McCanns PR agent David Hughes. For series of events, this may be translated to read publicity stunts. It would appear that the British government has withdrawn its public relations officer from assisting the McCanns any further. The problem with PR is that it is designed to put a spin on things. However, you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. I suspect that the McCanns are now facing an uphill struggle to maintain credibility in the eyes of the public and the media.
The British media has been a lot slower than the Portugese and German media in criticising the McCanns. It would appear that the McCanns have been advised not to exclude the Portugese media from the forthcoming media event, even though the McCanns have criticised the Portugese media for its relentless refusal to go along with McCann message which has been swallowed by the British media for too long.
