Is Madeleine McCann Disappearing From The UK Press?
THE Anorak has been watching the media’s treatment of the Madeleine McCann story for some months.
The tragedy of a missing child was turned into a media feeding frenzy, a grim story with any gaps in the narrative plugged with speculation and voyeurism.
We were invited to become sleuths, armchair detectives working out who had done what and how. Nothing meaningful has been achieved by this. Madeleine McCann is missing.
Who cannot feel for those involved? Who would want to be them?
Now Anorak learns from a reader that the Madeleine McCann story may be disappearing from the British press, and newspapers’ websites.
Anorak’s team of moderators seeks to weed out libellous comments and anyone making accusations against individuals they cannot back up. We seek not to mirror the press but show you how the story is presented by media outlets to their audiences. Now read this:

Madeleine McCann is vanishing from the British Press
Every single story in the Daily Express and in the Daily Star regarding Madeleine McCann has disappeared.
This was the answer given by the Daily Express’ online editor, Geoff Marsh:
“Hi xxx, Many thanks for your email. For operational reasons, some articles previously available on express.co.UK have been temporarily removed. I’m afraid I can’t go into any more detail. Best wishes, Geoff”
And from the web team of Daily Express:
“Hi xxx

I assure you, we do value you - and your input.

This is the last from my bookmark , I don”t subscribe to the conspiracy theory
either, you mean the STevo/Saturn one about Astra?2nd sos installment
The report, conducted in conjunction with investigations of the Judicial Police, reveals that the machine McCann has nothing left to chance and that every movement on the ground, each voluntarily disclose information in certain media has been previously studied and prepared with objectives defined.
Lawyers, consultants and image communication, former mercenaries, detectives, police officers, journalists, diplomats, politicians, scientists, among others, are part of a kind of well-oiled machine or the goal of finding Madeleine seems to have been overtaken by Another: guide and discredit the investigation. A working long allène which is a financial cost that goes far beyond the sums paid to the Fund Find Madeleine.
In practice it all began the night of the disappearance of the small British: the listing of calls from the Ocean Club and those of mobile phones used by Gerry and Kate revealed many curious recipients, far beyond the simple appeal to the family or the police.

You just fill up the pages with yours. I’m sure it will make interesting reading.

If we are lucky, the newspapers are deleting their archive of Maddie articles because they have been tipped-off about impending developments in the case and their staunch pro-McCann stance is going to look quite embarrassing soon…

The whole evening of 3rd May has the appearence of being a farce.
People regularly checking their children but not ‘clock watching’ - apparently no one wearing a watch?

Haven’t Red Rooster and Ciara-Louise got a room yet? I thought they were exchanging emails. They don’t need to fill up the pages of Anorak with their jibber-jabber. No offence.

Well, for one, me.
I don’t feel people who will say anything and do anything just to get themselves off the hook they put themselves on.
