Captain Ranty said...: Me too WfW.

I didn't see her shed a tear though. In fact in all the reports I have ever watched, I have never once seen her cry.

That documentary over at Anna's is a must see.; 2 May 2009 at 00:51

I have complete sympathy for them in their awful tragedy, and I can just understand it if, in the absence of a body, they find it difficult to accept what has happened and move on with their lives.

But why, in the name of the wee man, is this still on the front pages two YEARS after the event?

How many other people have lost children in the meantime, and received no national publicity? Some of them may even have been good-looking articulate well-off middle-class professionals. Why are they not on Oprah? Why this lot?

Time for a period of silence on their part. Please.; 4 May 2009 at 10:31

Interviewer: "Do you believe that Kate in particular is being erm dammed in the media for her lack of tears?"

Mitchell: "Kate is a quiet woman. She is quite... reserved. There's nothing wrong with that and ititit amazes me that people think that if you are grieving you somehow 'have to cry'. Why? Everybody reacts differently and I would suggest to anybody that criticises her erhow they would feel about the loss of their own child. Erm you know there's no 'proper way' to react and any demand on certain elements of the media for her to perform in a certain way frankly is totally irrelevent."

Mitchell is telling us all, I think, that Kate has yet to shed a tear.; 22 June 2009 at 11:19
Cornelia said...: It's very telling that the presence of a single teardrop is practically headline news, isn't it? With any other mother of a missing child it would be getting the tears to stop, not managing to squeeze one out, that would be difficult.

It's almost a year since the last comment here, but what did we have today? Another supposed 'sighting', one from the day after Madeleine disappeared, yet only being reported now 3 years later. The mad desire to keep on with these ridiculous stories and to hog the headlines has become something of a sick joke.

I agree with the poster who said many other children have gone missing, but the media concentrate only on one. This is an insult to the other missing children and their parents and IMO it's time the McCanns stepped out of the limelight. They can continue to 'search' for Madeleine without constantly feeding stories to the press, no one is stopping them or their private detectives. The money they have managed to acquire has given them advantages above and beyond what other parents of missing children have ... but they seem to have a natural greed for media attention as well. From what I've read on various web sites, the public have had enough of them.; 26 May 2010 at 01:43
