Re: Should have the McCanns have recieved the libel payout??

Yes, of course they should have been paid this money, the papers concerned said terrible things .. and admitted had to keep the story going somehow.

Even suggested they had sold their child due to financial difficulties amongst other outrageous claims.

Also slowed the investigation down, 'cause focus was put on them, which is unforgivable.

if they are innocent and i say if, aint that what most people would do if they thought it helped to recover their child? but what the press printed in instances was fabricated to sell newspapers hence the judgement. i fail to understand why anyone should think these guttersnipes should be allowed to get away with it.

Have to say i agree with Neil, all they have wanted since she went missing is to keep it front page news and like they say not all publicity is bad publicity.
Surely anything that keeps this in the minds of the public is better than nothing at all?

It is when the publicity concerned is nothing but constant sniping and character assassination. A hate campaign was started on the back of things printed in the media. The last thing they needed.

I do not agree with them making up stories - that is wrong.
If I remember correctly a lot of what was reported came from the Portuguese Police - they made them suspects etc.

I see they still have not been dealt with for the neglect that was the cause of Maddie going missing in the first place.

Doe anyone think they will ever be dealt with for leaving the children in the first place,

here here... no they should not have been given any more and in fact I feel they ought to be in court for leaving their children alone:

I hope Maddie is safe and well somewhere,,,but even if she is ,she will probably look very different now...I am glad that money is going into the ""Find Maddie Fund""

Re: Should have the McCanns have recieved the libel payout??

Of course the papers should have been sued for printing incorrect information to make the McCanns look bad. The money is going to the fund so I see nothing wrong with that. The onus should not be on the McCanns to prove their innocence. Nothing has come to light to prove them guilty of anything other than leaving their children alone and vulnerable. All the other speculation about them having killed her or sold her is nothing more than speculation and is defamatory. As for the stuff about their personal lives and IVF and her nickname at Uni it's pathetic and serves no purpose other than sensationalism to sell newspapers. I wasn't aware of how bad the things had been which had been published because I don't read such tripe.

leaving the kids alone is a differant argument, which if they were in court for it would suit me, i am damn near sure if you had been on the wrong side of a press report,you would view this differantly.:cool:
