Jumping on the bandwagon!

How soon is it before the ‘scabloid’ newspapers print the any of these headlines?

“The most hated woman in Britain” or
“The Face of Evil” or
“A mother’s shame” etc

At the moment I feel sorry for the family having to face the foreign paparazzi that have hounded them out of Portugal, which was reminiscent of how dangerous the media were hounding Princess Diana before the crash that killed her!

Even now the paparazzi are stationed outside their house. If was in the same situation I’d go mental towards the cameras and swear loads even if it did show me in a bad light!

But then again we must also feel sorry for the guy who was the original suspect; his life has been ruined by the medias interest in every detail about him, true or untrue! He was basically branded a pedophile and yet now he’s been forgotten and left to pick up what’s left of his life!

And what of the forensics evidence that’s been announced to the press? It seems awfully weak, but then maybe the real stuff has been withheld since the beginning of the investigation so that the real suspect whomever ‘she’ maybe might trip up!

It’s a cliché but “think of the children springs to mind when I see the press hounding the family, but then they did court the media to help move the case forward and get national interest so that Maddie would not be forgotten, but perhaps that’s why they remain so calm and haven’t flipped?
