Has anyone been watching the Leveson enquiry?
I know we slate the politicians and the bankers and rightly so, but the journalists are just as bad from what i've seen so far. Totally reprehensible some of the stuff they have done. And to ordinary people as well such as the Dowlers and the McCanns.
I know the celebs are seen as fair game, the price of fame and all that, but the desperate lengths they have gone to just to get a scoop is shocking and surely even a celebrity's entitled to some sort of privacy.
Slightly off topic, but i don't think the McCanns are really in a position to give an opinion on the integrity of others.

Why Paragon? {Ed001's Note - they left small children on their own while they buggered off out for the night. I wonder if they had not been doctors would they have been prosecuted for neglect?}

Thanks Ed, thats primarily what i meant.
But for some reason i can't shake off the idea that the parents and friends (and i mean in a very sinsister way) are somehow involved in something larger than their professional capacity.

They know dam well what they did. Poor little girl. The pair of em look like they have been living well. Plenty of money and still goin on with the hunt for maddy. there loads a kids go missing but they dont get a mention....but still these two are in the limelight and on tv. It's a shame such an effort isn't put in for all the other kids..

Want to know what i don't get about this madeline mcann thing right obviously they are saying the kid got abducted but why did this person not take the other 2 kids which makes me think the kid wasn't stolen instead she died then the McCanns went back seen that she was dead panicked and hid the body because i just cant see some maniac taking 1 kid but not the other 2

I do agree to an extent - the mother is awkwardly cold. This could be coz she's totally drained but I can't shake the feeling that she's seen or done something that has scarred her forever.
Not saying it was deliberate, but maybe an accidental overdose or something (didn't they drug Maddy so she'd sleep through their night out?) that saw them have to dump the body.....that'd be enough to turn a mother into a stone-cold, emotionless shell.

Ok i agree that they shouldn't have left the kid alone and if they had been anything other then well to do middle class they woild have got punished for that. But it doesn't excuse the media.
As for anything else, well i doubt we'll ever know. {Ed001's Note - nothing can excuse the way Murdoch's media empire operates, but people still buy the rags and subscribe to the TV stations. So you can only blame those that do so, they have to accept that all of them are at fault.}

True ed but it seems that its not just Murdoch though, that was the tip of the ice berg. they were almost certainly the wost for it, but it seems the rest were all at it as well. {Ed001's Note - none would have done it but for him, they were following his lead.}
Agree · 0 · Disagree · 0
I do agre it was a case of following the leader. But the fact that it seems like none of them have any integrity i wouldn't say that none of them would have done it first. {Ed001's Note - possibly, but I doubt any of the others would have known about those kind of espionage techniques that Murdoch uses.}

Well all they did was hire a private dectective to follow people, not too difficult. Then asked him what else he could do, like could he get into voicemail messages. Some journo probably saw too many movies like enemy of the state and of course the dodgy guy knew how to do it. {Ed001's Note - that is nothing mate, trust me that is the tip of the iceberg and just a tiny part of the things they were doing. It is more like the script of a James Bond film than just hiring a private dick.}
