These are the first 100 Headlines of Articles archived in the Factiva database regarding Goncalo Amaral. I'll add the rest as time allows; there are over 1000 articles to review.
Headlines are sorted oldest to most recent. - Note the number of articles that ran about the alleged TWO HOUR LUNCH. These all sprang from allegations made by a diner at a fish restaurant in Portimao. The diner saw a bottle of wine and what *may have been* a bottle of whiskey on the table. Since that time, the British press has continued to refer to Goncalo Amaral as the "boozy, bumbling cop." In my opinion, it is a blatant attempt to sway public opinion. It is a classic propaganda technique. Note the highly emotive adjectives used when referring to the McCanns and compare them with the adjectives used to describe Amaral.
- Note also the number of articles that ran about the Joana Cipriano murder case. For details about the Cipriano case, see: http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2008/10/cipriano-case-in-past.html (or search Google for the facts of the case regarding incest and the mutilation of little Joana''s body.) This is a photo of Leandro Silva with Leonor. Leandro Silva (common law husband of Leonor) is quoted in many of the articles below. (One wonders if an investigation into his current finances might be in order.)

If I were DCI Gene Hunt, I'd sue. The beyond-parody inquiry by Portuguese police into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is likened to an episode of Life on Mars, the acclaimed cops and robbers TV drama of which Hunt is the star-turn. Under the circumstances, I do not find it surprising that Gerry McCann has taken to briefing the British press himself, something for which he has been criticised. What other opportunity does he have of counteracting the tidal wave of accusations still flooding out of the Portuguese media courtesy of the sieve-like PPJ? Yes, it means that hurtful, distasteful and often quite incredible theories are reiterated in print and on air here in Britain. But it also ensures that the flaws and errors inherent in them can be exposed and addressed, too. Apparently, Portuguese law takes "prejudicial'' reporting very seriously. You'd never have guessed it, would you?
