Note how the Daily Mail gives these news.
By reading the link, one is lead to believe the McCanns won:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11215227/Madeleine-McCanns-parents-finally-Tuesday-won-14-YEAR-libel-battle.html
Or basically: “Madeleine McCann parents finally Tuesday won 14 YEAR libel battle”
One, on reading this, would be certain that the McCanns won, Portugal (not Amaral) has lost and that it was all about libel!
It doesn’t say which Tuesday and it doesn’t say “if they have won”. It just says, WON, past tense. On a Tuesday, misleading readers into thinking it was last Tuesday.
But opening up the article, this is what Nick Pisa has to say:
EXCLUSIVE: Madeleine McCann’s parents will finally find out on Tuesday if they have won 14-YEAR libel battle against cop who suggested they were to blame for the girl’s disappearance
- A 2008 book suggested the McCanns were responsible for the disappearance
- The Portuguese officer was taken off the investigation after a 27-year career
- The McCanns fought back against the initial ruling on an appeal in Portugal

“Will finally find out on Tuesday if they have won”
British Journalism at its best. And isn’t the Daily Mail the British paper with the largest readership?

ReplyDeleteCould have swore it was Amaral who fought back and successfully appealed the initial ruling, but hey oh such is the british press.
