The Madeleine McCann story just gets more and more complicated.  Most of us woke up this morning to the incredible headlines stating that the DNA extracted from the blood sample found in the car hired by Kate and Gerry McCann was a 100% match to Madeleine, and yet within a couple of hours some newspaper websites have begun changing their tone as it becomes apparent that such a claim might not have been made as the infighting between the scientists starts to emerge (which in itself is baffling).
 
How are the public supposed to follow a news story that lacks clarity and objectivity on the part of the media?  The need for a quick headline has got in the way of high quality journalism too many times in this saga.
