In the popular media? I wouldn't regard the internet as a yardstick of much common sense though.

 

There's been countless insinuations in articles and columns, and even headlines implying they were guilty, again without evidence. If anything, it was those headlines that stoked up the hatred against them among the more feeble-minded members of the public. You think the press don't know how to engineer a good old class-based resentment when it sells papers or serves an agenda?

 

This, from the Guardian in 2008:

 

The Daily Express and Daily Star carried unprecedented front page apologies to Gerry and Kate McCann today for publishing more than 100 articles on the disappearance of their daughter, Madeleine, some of which suggested the couple were involved in her death

And what comparable 'working class mum and dad at a holiday camp' example are we talking about?

Fair enough. I don't pay much attention to the media but it seemed a perception. You know more than me on the topic and I dont want to spend much time discussing the ins and outs of a toddler's tragic (likely) demise.

One of the great things about the GF is people’s ability to make light out of most things.
