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

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 Sad

Hi all.
Thanks to those who've reported posts upthread that they feel break our talk guidelines.

Clearly the OP wanted to start a discussion about the media coverage of this case, so please do feel free to contribute to that topic.

However, we are in the process of deleting any posts that imply that Madeleine's parents were involved in her disappearance, so please don't speculate on that subject or we will have to delete the whole thread. We're here to support parents, all parents.

Thanks for your understanding.

Evening to you all. Just a reminder as this story moves on: we are welcoming discussion on this thread about the media coverage of this story only. I think we can all agree that speculating on unknown facts and apportioning blame of any sort is unhelpful at best and not in the spirit of Mumsnet, which exists to support parents. We understand how upsetting this story is to all parents, but would ask you to think carefully about how your posts may read to those closest to Madeleine at this time. Thanks for your consideration.

Evening all,

Can we please remind all that the McCanns are a family who lost a child.

We would very much appreciate it if people would stop speculating about what may or may not have happened and the possible culpability of the parents - we would hope we can all agree that we wouldn't wish this circumstance on anyone.

Many thanks

Peace and love all round Grin Gin
