Goncalo Amaral - Fired, Sacked, Kicked-off, Booted etc.


In keeping with the excellent *balanced* reporting the media has given the McCann case...here is a list of examples of the headlines related to Goncalo Amaral - describing his transfer from the Madeleine case in one or more of the following terms: "FIRED, SACKED, BOOTED-OUT, KICKED-OFF, AXED" (etc.)

I have studied these as I've compiled the lists, and must admit that there has been absolutely NO evidence of unbiased reporting in the case of Madeleine McCann.  It is, in my opinion, an insult to the British public that journalists do not have enough respect for their readers to stick to the facts and to avoid sensationalism or spin.  Apparently ethics no longer exist in the news media.  (Thank God for the Internet.)

What an incredible catalogue of disrepute.

To see such deplorable examples put together as a list of shame, well it quite took my breath away, and I have no illusions about these creatures.

Quite a compilation I must say, all credit to you.

Thank you. It is very encouraging to have a nice word spoken by someone with such a unique and insightful blog.

The British press is a joke and after their 'reporting' of this case, especially their xenophobic attacks on Gonçalo Amaral and the PJ, will never be able to regain any little credibility they once had. These so-called journalists should be writing for the Beano, not for the national press.

Also, the recent sheeplike reporting on the supposed sightings of Madeleine, each 'sighting' less credible than the one before, shows how they'll print anything, no matter how bizarre or mocking, in an effort to outdo one another and sell a few more papers. Turning a missing child into a comic-strip cartoon, like the Sun did in its sickening illustrations, is beyond contempt. Showing innocent children and adults' faces, and attempting to label the adults as child-stealers, is the press's other favourite sport of the day, a sickening sport that must surely be illegal.

Gonçalo Amaral has acted with dignity and restraint, his only aim being to find out the truth of what happened to Madeleine, while the British press has acted like a pack of wolves on the one hand and a bunch of idiots on the other. When the truth about Madeleine's fate comes out, will the press finally admit to their shameful part in this increasingly repulsive charade? I won't be holding my breath.

Good morning and thank you to yourself.

In truth, when I commented earlier, I simply thought this post was a one off, until I had a brief look round, it being so late n'all, imagine my surprise when I did just that.

I think I was as equally amazed with the content as I was with the site being so novel to me.

I shall return at a less busy time and have trawl.

Thank you.
