the 'Drudge Report'

Prince Harry has returned from Afghanistan thanks to a "Drudge Report" and its big mouth.

The BBC videos of Prince Harry reveal a man who wants to be a soldier to serve his country or maybe to just be a part of the action, a man who is tired of being treated differently but also a man who understands that it is always going to be this way because he was born into 'Royalty' and with its perks come constant, intrusive and never ending media scrutiny and speculation.

I almost heard him say, "If only people would let me be!"

Was the media blackout justified?

Well, I think it was because it ensured the safety of both Prince Harry and the equally important soldiers who were deployed with him. And in my opinion, it was extremely irresponsible and very 'vulture' like to have flashed the news knowing fully well the consequences of doing so.


Is it impossible for the people in the media to stop being news hounds and be humans once in a while?
