The 'bad' thing is that there are many other similar cases that should also be kept in the spotlight but aren't because the parents of the missing kids aren't from the same type of background as the McCanns are..

Because they come from a particular background shouldn't exclude them from using every tool in their box to keep their child's name in the media. They've worked at this, it doesn't come naturally just because they're middle-class.

What other similar cases are there? I remember the Ben Needham case, it frightened the life out of me when I was a child. Ben Needham's mother was on telly quite recently saying she would never, ever give up hope. I don't even recall what background she was from because it's not important.
