Has attacking the McCanns become a national pastime ?

as high profile as the case is, it has attracted attention from varying sources, the ehtics of the sources attacks are invariably questionable
For you it has.
I don’t believe the ‘nation’ has become a group of sad weirdo’s just yet.
Not sure about a national pastime but it certainly is yours.
If they lied, they deserve it!!
I agree with everything that women said.Great article by the way.
Adam,I just feel so sorry for this couple.I don’t know why they act strange but,What is the right way to act when you lost a daughter.?
They got all the media involved straight away to find Madeleine and then it backfired.It’s sad.I know I am not liked as my opinion differs from most but,I won’t change my mind unless I see proof.
This case is exhausted now.
Mostly it’s the media cashing in on a story that sells papers, instead of actually helping a little girl, who is missing
Yes I mean you DAILY EXPRESS amongst others
Plus everything Welshcake says above!
Yes it has for all those sad inadequates who have to bolster there own egos by pretending there’s someone less worthy than them.Let it go,there isn’t.
Nobody but the people involved really know anything so it is so wrong to make judgements based on the media reports. Meanwhile a little girl is still missing
the press like to attack anyone, it sells papers cos people like to b*tch, its not personal, its more that people like to complain and moan and b*tch.
because they’ve made it a national thing! sarah payne went missing,so did jessica and holly wells, their bodies were found within weeks,but their parents were distraught, and never asked for money, maddie has been missing for months, they dont look the least emotional,they are catholic,hey,they got their dream,they met the pope, and an extended holiday, sara payne looked unkempt and tired when sarah went missing, kate always manages to do her make up and hair every day, so,yes,i am attacking them,because something isnt right. kate is now dressing amelie(younger sister) in maddies old clothes, i could never do that, they are maddies clothes and a constant reminder.its as though she is letting maddie carry on through amelie. i’m a mum of 4, and think they need a lie detector test.something is amiss.
I think many people forget that the McCanns are just parents and that they will do whatever it takes to try and find their daughter, no matter how many people’s sensibilities they upset, they have their goal.
I don’t think anyone can really blame them for that, and I don’t think it’s selfish in any way, shape or form. They are dedicated to their child and the media hype that has blown up around them, in contrast to other missing children, doesn’t mean that they are selfish. They will do anything to find that child. It is their duty.
What i think is most sad is that the hopes that Madeleine survived are extremely slim, and that all public interest in the family has turned so bitter, in such a short time. It is a tragedy.
Because there’s this Internet, and we call this !!!??
i think you know youre self, why people feel the way they do ,towards the macanns, people who would rather leave there children, in a strange country all alone, you cant even start to imagine, how scared the children would have been, just for a night out, i hope it was worth it, because poor maddie has paid the price, for bieng left alone, through people who were suposed to protect her
No offence Adam but is this the only subject that interests you.After all there are big stories every day that are just as compelling and of far greater importance
Most people have never heard of them. So no, it’s not a pastime at all except for people with too much time on their hands.
Obviously so. This case has struck a chord with all of us; we can’t help becoming partially obsessed.
Thanks for the link Adam – this was my posted comment to the reporter at the daily mail – I doubt it will be posted

I have never been more distressed to be proved right is this not a public savaging? This case is a national obsession is for two reasons. 1. It is a major political incident. The government and in particular the Prime Minister has become personally involved in an abduction case (nepostism) 2. A campaign seeking charity by parents who (portrayed by the press) seem to be milking an abduction opportunity (people feel betrayed). The parents are empty signifiers upon which all this public grief has been projected…Kate in particular – and to be honest – your report is no better as you display the projection in a glee to be proved right.
UNQUOTE
poster people for child neglect; I thought the issue is to find Maddie ; the parents choice caused a child to be missing; they were the last ones with contact
lol at 70% statistic. thats not far off 50:50. people have only a very slim 1 in 14 million chance of winning the lottery. yet someone wins the lottery all the time. if you only had a 70% chance of surviving when jumping off a cliff would you jump? of course not. i guess some people dont understand statistics at all
Yes, in some parts it has in the search for the truth.
But the McCanns put themselves in the firing line….
For you most definitely. I’m sure the other 99.9% of the nation have better things to do
Seems like it
For some sad people,yes. I am disgusted by it. And yes, it is fuelled by the internet which spreads speculation and gossip.
If the McCanns are innocent, not only are they having to deal with the loss of their daughter, but they struggling with **** campaigns. People are sick.
And you’ve done your fair share of winding them up.
global i would say
why attack this person?everyone is posting questions about them,including my self.They have become like a womens gossip magazine,with the women commenting on how Kate looks,what she wears,etc. Certainly at this late stage no-one could succesfully be charged with her murder,abduction,etc PSand alienfile should be reported for his ranting
Yes it has . It is going to become a sport by 2012 so that GB will be guaranteed to win a gold meddle in the Olympics in London.
