OMG!! Have you seen Sky news "newspaper review" about Madeleine's disappearance tonight? Ooooooh!!!

Question

The reviewers are saying newspapers are scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories of little worth and are biased because Madeleine's family is cute, white and middle class. Are they admitting the McCann's ploy of "media swamping" is failing? The telephone call came to nothing either, sadly. Another day of swanning around for mummy and daddy. Another day of hell for poor Madeleine. :-(

Answer 1

no, is it bad?

Answer 2

They desperately need a lead. I hope the call wasn't a hoax but looks as if it might be. Although having said that the fact they are playing down and not accusing some sicko in public makes me wonder if they are trying to encourage them to make contact again. If that's the case they should take a week of the campaign trail and sit by the phone for a bit.

Let's hope and prey something is discovered over weekend and the press coverage doesn't put the caller of making contact again...........

Answer 3

Are you refering to this

According to Spanish police, a "credible" call came from a man using an unregistered pay-as-you-go mobile from an unidentified country who asked to speak directly to Kate and Gerry McCann.

The country is not thought to be Morocco, where a previous possible sighting of Madeleine was reported, and the caller did not reveal his identity or nationality, although his information was considered important enough to alert the couple.

A Spanish police source said: "A man called saying he knew where Madeleine was and wanted to speak to the McCanns.

"This did not appear to be a crank call and the information was felt credible enough to warrant the couple being informed immediately."

Mr and Mrs McCann - who are currently in Germany - have put their European search for their daughter on hold in case they need to act.

Madeleine was snatched 35 days ago from her bed at the couple's holiday apartment in the village of Praia da Luz on the Algarve.

Mr and Mrs McCann had been due to leave for Tempelhof airport in Berlin to fly to the Netherlands at around 3pm yesterday but were advised that the caller might try to contact them, so they stayed on at the British embassy.

After the caller failed to make contact again, they left Berlin at 7.30pm, three hours later than planned, for the hour-long flight to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam to continue their search.

Have just found it

Answer 4

No, is it about the out spoken German reporter or the ''man rings police with whereabouts'' story?

Or the 'now we have done Berlin in a free private jet, we are going to Amsterdam' story?

Please, what story is it?

Like we give a damn about them.

It's supposed to be about the girl, not them.

Fcuk them.
