To be shocked at Sky News' coverage of the excavations in Praia Da Luiz?

[ziggiestardust]

I didn't see a lot of the initial coverage, as I was working abroad in 2007. But the Police are potentially excavating a little girl's body, regardless of the circumstances, and they've got live cameras at the scene, waiting. It's macabre, and it seems like regardless of the fact MM was a tiny little defenceless girl, she's fair game for the media.

I just think it's shitty. Do a quick piece on it, but is there any need for the close ups of the excavation site and a blow by blow account of what's happening?

Her poor family

McCann Bashing is still alive and well, I see

How fucking ghoulish to turn up here on this thread and do it. Perhaps the Bashers should go to Portugal and gawp at the excavations, whilst carrying banners saying "Kate did it"

Fucking hell

I'm imagining a Les Dawson lookalike, twitching curtains with a 'mark my words'.

Disgusting.

I can see the point of the villagers in India because they were highlighting the disregard of the police towards their lowest caste girls, barely human, a step above the rats. They did the only thing they could do, many illiterate with no means of contacting the media, stayed until the media came to them.

Everyone wants to be the first with the news story, get the exclusive, the money shot. Remember those poor prostituted women who were murdered a few years ago? The news reports at the time focused on another body being found not another woman has been murdered. Body found sounds more sensationalist.

Nice glasgowstevenagain and silveroldie, really nice.

What a horrible situation. Difficult to say the right thing. Must be torment for them.

Sky news are complete bastards.I've never forgotten the time they gave out a supposed sighting of the Soham girls and spent time on some arsehole publicity seeker who had made it up.

I agree still, the villagers had no choice if they wanted justice. A relative of the girls said it was very difficult to leave them. Heartbreaking.

I don't agree the pictures of the hanged girls should have been distributed so widely (and so fucking casually) though

Evidence for the police/authorities/pressure to be borne from foreign govts etc

But on Twitter, for the delectation of the chattering masses ? Nope, I cannot agree with that.

Don't really care if you apologise or not silveroldie. Your comments are really in bad taste on this OPs thread.

Of course you can think what you like. Can't you just keep it in your little head though? Most people don't wish to hear such crap.

Horrible situation all around. It must be beyond awful for the family and it is not nice for those who are in Praia da Luz just to enjoy a nice holiday or for those who rely on the holiday trade there for their living.

Surely Kate has answered every possible question, a million times over!

The unfortunate side effect is the sharing of the pics on twitter and facebook for people to out horror each other. Its like those stupid 'Like if you hate child abuse' pictures .

I'm interested in what question Kate has to answer.

Nobody ever asked that question, huh ? FFS.

I am too, Icansee

Look at Kate face, this a mother who child has been missing since 2007.

That's 7 years of missed Christmas, birthdays, starting school, starting junior school, Christmas plays, sports days, thousands of days of their daughter life.

Is it too much to show a bit of empathy.

and pompous with it. you go, silveroldie.

I agree with whoever upthread said there's a difference between collecting evidence for the authorites and providing fodder for the imaginations of the likes of these two 'truthseekers' here. surely people can differentiate between no coverups and open titillation

Heres the 48 questions she allegedly refused to answer and as a bonus, its from the DM website!

Sky news no longer shock me after what they did with the April Jones case

I hope HQ pull this thread. It seems that any aspect of this utterly distressing case cannot be discussed without ignorant haterz coming on to derail the fuck out of it.

Oh yes KMs questions that are circling round the internet.... the interview was months after Madeline went missing and after they were officially declared suspects.

You bet if I had a chance of being arrested and imprisoned away feom my remaining children I would follow my legal advice to the letter which would be "no comment".

Have a questioning mind for yourself ffs.
