NOTE: The BBC have responded to complaints regarding their refusal to report the Lisbon Appeals Court ruling in favor of Goncalo Amaral, and cannot claim they were not informed of the development. The following articles were published about the McCanns *after* complaints were lodged and the BBC continued to remain silent about the lifting of the ban on "Maddie: The Truth of the Lie".
- Twins talk about Madeleine every day

22 November 2010, Simon Hare
(No reference to lifting of the book ban. "Amaral discredited", "Amaral largely to blame for the McCanns being made arguidos" etc.
Note: On November 15th, 2010 - ONE MONTH after the Lisbon Appeals court ruled to lift the ban on "The Truth of the Lie"- the BBC made a brief reference to the decision. As you will see by analysing these articles, the BBC immediately reported the McCann's successes in Sept 2009 and Feb 2010.
CLEARLY, the BBC is guilty of CENSORING the news. There is no logical reason that this was anything but DELIBERATE.
