A story actually worth reading about the McCanns

This impassioned piece about newspaper coverage and the public’s whispering campaign since the disappearance of Madeleine McCann by Kate Miller in The Scotsman is required reading. Written in response to the Daily Star’s truly, truly appalling ’story’ yesterday that Portuguese police were apparently, possibly, maybe, allegedly – at some point – investigating a theory that Kate and Gerry McCann sold their daughter Madeleine to bail themselves out of money trouble, Miller paints a depressingly accurate picture of how the McCanns’ vilification has become a national pastime – and why it must stop.
