'The Sun's' Forthcoming 'The Maddie Files' - 12 Page Pullout
'The Sun' will have a 12 Page 'The Maddie Files' Pullout on Saturday - 19th October.
They advertised it on Page 9 of today's issue - with a big photo of a smiling Madeleine.
They said that she is, 'The little girl we'll never forget'.
They also called it a 'Sun Special Report'.
I expect that it will be nothing more than the 'Case' told entirely from Gerry & Kate's claims, with the usual attacks on
the Portuguese Police, & anyone who does not believe the 'Abduction' story. With SY's 'findings' added in.

Will this be based on the OFFICIAL PJ files? If not, the Sun can cut its newspaper into little squares and hang them behind the toilet door.

When the News of the World closed Rebekah Brooks said there was worse to come and I find it hard to believe that the McCanns phones were not hacked. Maybe News International know more than they are letting on. I also wondered if this is why Rebekah Brooks was so keen for a review. All IMO of course.

I'm not getting my hopes up - but wasn't it The Sun who recently (during the libel trial 1st days) did the spread of GA's "Outrageous Claims" which probably didn't seem 100% outrageous even if they felt very uncomfortable and probably told people a lot of stuff that they'd never have seen before....?
I still wonder if that wasn't a sly act of sabotage. If so then it could be interesting to see how they play this one, especially now the genie is out of the bottle on sightings and timelines....
Good point on Brooks and possible background to what NI might know.

Yes I have some hope after the publishing of the "outrageous claims" that the piece won't be the gut-wrenchingly awful load of old rowlocks that would have at one time been inevitable.

IMO, this is another clear sign that this case is reaching a conclusion- either a whitewash or charges are to be brought. I see no other reason for such a publication after all these years especially with the litigious McCanns.

Quite possibly. The Sun getting in quick to shift some extra papers before somebody gets charged. When that happens you get a media black out until the blow by blow account during the trial.ShuBob wrote:IMO, this is another clear sign that this case is reaching a conclusion- either a whitewash or charges are to be brought.

I also think the Sun are getting in quick before everyone else, building up to the crash before the fall.

I will be very surprised if this has not been put together like Crimewatch in association with the McCanns. 12 pages - what is there left to say apart from the truth which is the one thing you can guarantee won't be in it?

Re: 'The Sun's' Forthcoming 'The Maddie Files' - 12 Page Pullout
I am no fan of The Sun - and although I also think their (electoral) boast that it was "The Sun Wot Won It" is a load of toss, I do believe they have a very good nose for broad public opinion and can use it to sell papers very effectively.
I can't help but think that they can sense changing dynamics in recent months and weeks. They may try and paint themselves as crass and lowbrow but there are brains behind all that.
If they sense cracks - and sales - they will exploit that.
As I said, I reckon that the "Outrageous Claims" spread was a toes-in-the-water exercise - Perhaps CW will suggest to them that they can go further, even if they dress it all up in a tragic/saccharine or ostensibly non-commital way on first sight.
Not 100% convinced but waiting with interest....

The Sun is owned by Murdoch who also owns Fox. He was surely aware (if not complicit) in the surprising appearance of Wendy Murphy. I feel that Murdoch knows every dirty secret in Britain and just picks his time to reveal it.

I agree, there is no way what Wendy Murphy said was a surprise to them - even the footage shown to accompany Wendy speaking was appropriate and must have been planned in advance.juliet wrote:The Sun is owned by Murdoch who also owns Fox.

Murdoch owns a world wide media empire. I don't think he's aware all the time of everything that is happening in all of his outlets nor does he exercise editorial control over everyone. I think Wendy Murphy's appearance was a mistake by Fox who didn't expect her to say what she did. They very quickly covered up and made sure that all references after that were thoroughly on message.juliet wrote:The Sun is owned by Murdoch who also owns Fox.

I would have thought Wendy Murphy's views on the Mccanns were well known. Hadn't she written a damning piece? The presenter seemed a bit surprised but she was maybe just the window dressing...not the brains of the programme.

She [the anchor woman] was desperately trying to get back to her cue sheets with bungling cops, etc ...

Think the sun owe Andrew Mitchell an apology. And for what it's worth I think the pull out will be a complete TM love in.
