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.

Testing
Evening all. Not a troll only me, but past my bedtime really, so just a short visit.
Watch wearing would have been in place that night so that they could be sure to play their parts on time. and they would have had to have some form of timekeeping equipment to know how long their jogs after Madeleine disappeared took.
By the way did we ever discover who the littel girl was in the playground picture - the one who wasn’t Amelie?

I think you are right, its the balance between allowing an abductor time and avoiding charges for abandonment.
Of course if that is the case, their may well have actually been an abductor!
Their insistance may be based on the knowledge that there was plenty of time for an abduction to have occurred.
How ironic!

Talk about coincidence, I was half watching “Spooks” which has just started,
big explosion, some of MI5 injured, someone comes rushing out and says
“they have tried to murder the Home Secretary”…….think it”s a hit squad from
Portugal?

I’m usually happy Jo and I wasn’t including you in my remark.
I haven’t been on here for a few nights and as soon as I post someone I’ve never encountered before makes remarks.

It has to be so! What paper do you thing is going to publish a new sithing somewhere? The testimonies of “new” witnessses? The continous rubish of Metodo-3 (what about their contract)…?

Ian - I remember the very first story on the BBC - it said that the Mccanns were doing HOURLY checks on the children. It was shortly afterwards that the Oldfield check (seeing twins and not Madeleine) was introduced.
I believe the first BBC report and that the Oldfield non check was to cover their backs and make things appear a little better.

Well, must go, I have work to do tomorrow (methods of statutory intepretation - YAWN!!).
Night night all.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:10 am
I was wondering about the protrolls on anorak
If a spring cleaning is on the way and the truth finally comes out and incriminates the mccanns how will they react?
