Well actually I would, but thats more my dislike of ignoring the professional view of scientists and doctors in favor of people who know nothing.
Although I do not think the McCanns were asking for it. I just dont think they deserve to have so much media time. The fact that people go missing all the time yet in my town they put McCann posters up is a disgrace. More benefit would have been done if they put pictures of local missing children up, but because the media deemed this case special, people have given them special treatment they would not afford anyone else.
Its hypocritical. I understand why people care, the fact that they can relate and a lot of attention has been given to it, but it is wrong of the media is use this case to sell papers and send people into a emotional frenzy.
And now the papers are telling the public they are wrong to judge the McCanns? This whole thing is media driven, they put them in the spotlight, they made the mass-hysteria, then were the ones to start judging the McCanns! and once the backlash against the backlash happened then turn around and have a go at the public mood that they created!
