Alex Thomson - Should he be punished?

Channel 4 newsman Alex Thomson said the media coverage of Maddie made him sick. He said "I've been sickened by the way the media have allowed themselves to be taken for a full-scale ride by the McCanns." He added that the parents behaviour of leaving the three children und the age of four alone while they ate was, "a contributory factor in the abduction, was largely downplayed or ignored altogether by sycophantic, gullible blanket coverage."

A Channel 4 News spokesman has apparently told the Sun that Thomson has been reprimanded.

How many of you agree with him? Who thinks he was rightfully reprimanded?

Personally I think he's hit the nail on the head and said what a lot of people should of said sooner. The McCanns conduct just isn't right. It's unfair that they are still raising money and it is in no way being used to help look for Madeleine, it is allegedly being used for their accomodation and media coverage, what about private investigators?

What about going out there and actually looking yourself the way hundreds of parents have after their chilidren have gone missing. Take for example missing toddler Ben Needham, his mother didn't get any public funds, she spent every penny of her own money searching for her son, and had to sell his toys to get a boat home as she didn't have enough money for a flight. She was also questioned as a suspect by Greek police for 5 hours. Was this because she was a young (17) unmarried mother, so it didn't seem as important as the child of two middle class doctors?

Also Alex Meschisvili he has been missing since 3rd February, the Greek media have stopped reporting on his dissapearance as nothing new has appeared.

The McCanns say they want to eventually use the fund to help find other missing children, why don't they start by using it to find their own child?

Benoit - Another Update - Somebody Knew??

In the last few hours it has been announced that some 14 hours (approx 1am Monday morning) before authorities discovered the bodies of Chris, Nancy and their 7-year-old-son Daniel on Monday, someone altered Benoit's page on Wikipedia to say the wrestler missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.

The writer has claimed it was a coincidence and a guess here "I feel incredibly bad for all the attention this got because of the fact that what I said turned out to be the truth. Like I said it was just a major coincidence, and I will never vandalize anything on wikipedia or post wrongful information. I've learned from this experience. I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it"

I personally think that its too much of a coincidence as the IP address has been tracked to a computer in Stamford, CT (the site of WWE headquarters) apparently (I say apparently as only one newspaper has said this)other WWE edits have been linked to the same IP address including confidential information about Chavo Guerrero.

Did someone know about the death before or was it all a huge coincidence, if someone knew that person could of possibly prevented Benoit's suicide, which leads to more conspiracy theories.
