Something fishy

Ever since the first media report of the Madeline disappearance starring the parents, I have had an uneasy sense with regards the media manipulation.
Over time, with more and more over the top "B Movie" plot developments regarding the McCanns and their antics, that sense of unease has only grown stronger.
How exactly does a family manage to avoid so many basic questions such as:
"Why did you abandon 2 x 18 month old twins and a 3 year old in an apartment in a foreign country whilst you went out for a meal?"
"Why did'nt you make use of the babysitting facilities available on site?"
"Why aren't you being investigated for child abuse (or abandonement) in what is a very clear cut case?"

I'm surmising that part of the reasons is because of the starring players in this little drama.
Take one cute faced blond photogenic toddler.
Throw in a couple of middle class "respectable" parents on a family holiday.
Add a touch of tragedy (nasty evil men lurking in dark alleyways eyc) and there you have it.
A story to grace the front pages of nespapers for a few days until the next plotline of Corrie is leaked and then it's relegated to an occcasional item buried deep inside the papers.
But not the McCann story..........
Oh no.
The months drag on and there have been no developments.
Not a single one.

So how come the McCanns have managed to find such willing allies in the media?
Were they so media savvy that they could instantly call on a list of contacts to fuel the media storm?

Or are they this years "Princess Di" story.

There's something fishy going on here ......

So very true.

Something clearly isn't right.
All this symbolic crap such as releasing balloons, selling (very profitable) wrist bands and hordes of pre-prepared children "mobbing" the Mccans with pre-prepared posters.
If all these brats already had posters of Madeline to wave about as soon as the mccanns and the television cameras turned up, why did the Mccanns need to go there to 'raise awareness' about the daughter they so criminally neglected?
Surely they weren't using the whole thing as a way of extending their holiday and dragging their media circus with them?
Their agent seriously needs to coach them a little about not turning up at each destination in full makeup and beaming for the cameras when wishing to appear distraught.

The McCanns (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED copyright 2007) are suspending their high profile freebie world tour to stay in Portugal all Summer to count all their money, sorry, to grieve.
