Will the Drudge apologize?

Cllr Leo Walters, the Mayor of Windsor and Maidenhead has demanded a formal apology from US website the Drudge Report, which broke the news blackout on Harry's deployment to Afghanistan.

Cllr James Evans proposed the motion and commented, “Matt Drudge should apologize immediately for what he has done, and we would urge other journalists to remember that what they print has a direct impact on areas of conflict. Our military needs and deserves our support."

We are a far cry from the responsible (yet highly censored) reporting of other wars. With the availability of the internet, any Joe with a laptop and wireless connection can call themselves a journalist.
