Nicola Bulley: MSM slammed by family - any mention in papers?

The family of Nicola Bulley have said they would never comprehend “what Nikki had gone through in her last moments”.

However, they also slammed the media and members of the public for vilifying her family and friends.

Her body was discovered on Sunday morning in the River Wyre in Lancashire, a tragic death.

Bulley’s family criticised the media and the sections of the public who had accused her partner of wrongdoing and “misquoted and vilified friends and family”.

“This is absolutely appalling, they have to be held accountable this cannot happen to another family,” they said.

In a statement, Bulley’s family torched the television media, along with some tabloid reports that fueled wild speculation that surrounded her disappearance.

"Do the press and other media channels and so-called professionals not know when to stop? These are our lives and our children's lives."

The statement read, in part, “It saddens us to think that one day we will have to explain to [her children] that the press and members of the public accused their dad of wrongdoing, misquoted and vilified friends and family. This is absolutely appalling, they have to be held accountable this cannot happen to another family.

Yikes.

Awkward for ITV and Sky News reporters who had started to live-tweet the Nicola Bulley press conference. pic.twitter.com/ocTJvOovSh

This is a VERY good point

🧵Newspapers front pages cover Nicola Bulley, however none (excl The Guardian + the i) report the family's criticism of the media + press.

Mail and the i have even gone to the lengths to EDIT the text of the family's statement to omit the worst of their criticism of the press?! pic.twitter.com/vrEGFHzmVR

This is worth listening to.

“The newspapers have failed to report the allegations against them, not a single front page other than The Guardian, mentions the attack on the media. The Mail, edited out, in text [statement]… “ pic.twitter.com/bNz2Na3gHg

Kay Burley

Kay burley seemed to come under fire from a lot of people on social media.

Nicola Bulleys family have lashed out at Sky & ITV for directly contacting them when they asked for privacy on learning a body had been found.

Almost tempted to put @skynews on to see that ghoul Kay Burley eat humble pie after her sensational gutter coverage was called out …. but I haven't got the stomach for that narcissistic vampire today.

The "on the spot" reporting by Kay Burley on @SkyNews is crass rubber necking of the worst kind.
Utterly disgusting rating chasing heartless "reporting".

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrible tragedy 💔 🕯

This morning, Kay Burley and Inzamam Rashid were acting like they had the scoop of the century by talking to Nicola's partner. Now we know the family had been strong-armed into talking to Sky when all they really wanted to was to tell them to fuck the fuck off! https://t.co/GYTnMvOaPw

Family statement

In all the media glare a woman has tragically died, this is what the family had to say.

They said:

We will never be able to comprehend what Nikki had gone through in her last moments and that will never leave us.

We will never forget Nikki, how could we, she was the centre of our world, she was the one who made our lives so special and nothing will cast a shadow over that.

Our girls will get the support they need from the people who love them the most.

And it saddens us to think that one day we will have to explain to them that the press and members of the public accused their dad of wrongdoing, misquoted and vilified friends and family. This is absolutely appalling, they have to be held accountable this cannot happen to another family.
