Dumb as a sack of dog poop - they failed to notice that the Sun had been announcing for weeks that it was going behind a paywall!

HOW THE PRESS TRY TO MANIPULATE THE MADDIE CASE
How can anything be more clear cut than a press story designed to garner sympathy for the parents of a dead little girl, for which the Portuguese police and 70% of the public hold the parents responsible,than to destroy the OVERWHELMING comments of the BRITISH PUBLIC.
AFTER FINDING OUT THAT OVER 90% OF PEOPLE LEAVING COMMENTS WERE DISGUSTED AT THE McCANN'S THEY CLOSE IT FOR MAINTENANCE!!!!!
When it comes back all the comments are gone!
Lesley-ann Shand im shocked at the amount of this whooossshhhh clunking going on
John Coxon If it was the Sun I'd just looked on the comments and posted on here that something like 1 out of 23 of them was actually pro Mccann the rest were along bad parenting lines to they were involved , the pro Mccann comment was the very last one strangely enough, somebody else then stated they had tried to access it and it was "closed for maintenance" now all deleted, pathetic
Warren Thornton That is the press for you,they love em! They could not care less what the general public think,how frightened are they that they bow to McCann media unit so slavishly, what cowards!
Lesley-ann Shand Yeah i tried lastnight
Dan Gleebitz Warren - they can't let a cash cow like the McScams come to some kind of fruition can they now?

The Sun have been announcing on a HUGE banner, for weeks, that the site was going to change - and the loonies imagine it was because of their hatespam.
And the only way anyone can know whether the comments are there or not is if they now pay to subscribe to the online Sun.
