So true, and if he'd been a better father, she wouldn't be missing at all.

Perhaps he is referring to the claims they did it.
Losing your daughter must be indescribable, being blamed for the disappearance (if your innocent) must be ten fold the pain.

Read the report, the press sensationalising news...no way I won't have that..lol
Anyone who manages to get in the papers must realise they are all deceitful gutter slime who would sell there soul to gain a percentage, expect the worst and anything less is a bonus.

But they put themselves in the media spotlight from the word go. Then later refuse to answer questions about her disappearance and go 'no reply' in police interviews - and then wonder why the press start coming out with their stories.

Maybe if he and his equally appalling wife had treated Madeleine more like a child and less like a lifestyle accessory he wouldn't now be in the position where he needs to make this sort of statement

Whatever you think of his character, and that of Mosley as well, they still had a good point with their criticism of the media and its OTT and often unfair actions in the name of sensationalism.

I have no argument with that Nat. I was thinking however of the general attitudes of parts of the media who will publish anything, no matter how unfairly injurious to a person's character, for their own selfish purposes.
