Media Tease

Is This Madeleine McCann? experts are looking into it.

There was a picture circulating the television news and websites that may have been Madeleine McCann, the picture was taken by a tourist in Morocco. The above picture was from the BBC website and the same picture but a little clearer was shown on the BBC television.

The next day we get a clear version of the picture from the BBC and can see its not her.

The girl in the picture wasn't Madeleine McCann. Journalists tracked her doon and found her to be Bushra the daughter of an olive farmer, she is a Moroccan of Berber origin.

If we got a clear a picture as this on the news programmes and web sites then we could see it wasn't Madeleine. It strikes me as manipulation by the press to tease you into tuning in. "Something in your fridge may kill you and your family, tune in at ten to find out more."

I'm sick of having my heart strings pulled by the media until it gets to the point that a whole nation is of one opinion, sure a 5 year-old gurl getting abducted is a nightmare or yer 11 year-old son getting shot on the way home from football practice but I don't need to be brainwashed and teased into constantly caring about 2 stories out of 100.

Its like a reality show in which the little cute gurl wins against the talented adults because shes only 5 and it would upset her if she didn't win.
