I read this as "scraps thrown to the wolves".

Sun subeditors have walked out in protest, apparently.

I suspect the real reason is the BSkyB bid going south - to be saved at any cost. Newspapers are a dying media and the NotW can be sacrificed in favour of a brand new (cough) Sunday tabloid. There will be a massive TV promotion next week for the new Sunday Sun to try and switch the readership seamlessly. Different name, same sh*t.

Maybe the Sun will offer it instead? Not that the reward seems to matter, TBH, at least as far as the McCanns are concerned, since Kate doesn't want any 'greedy criminals' getting their hands on it. As she says 'If they want it, I’m sure they’ll find a way of getting in touch.' That woman is so wonderfully enthusiastic about anything that might help in the search for her daughter, isn't she?
