Drudge ethics question

Ok, as usual, fedora boy takes time away from the young male crowd to BREAK THE STORY THAT PRINCE HARRY IS IN AFGHANISTAN!

Well, as usual, fedora fucker doesn't tell you the WHOLE story. Everyone in the British media has known for months but weren't supposed to tell.
Of course, rules don't apply to Drudge because he has no one to answer to.
Get it wrong? Just hit delete, never happened.

He has none.
Next question.
The First Amendment guy in me says that the British people have a right to know if the third-in-line to the throne is in harm's way, which apparently this guy is. (Infantry recon? In Afghanistan? Yoikes.) But Closet Case better hope nothing happens to the guy, or his fedora's going to the Tower.

 

James Bond vs. Matt Drudge

I'd pay to see that. Even if the villain lasted only three minutes.

 

Bingo. Give Harry credit for pretending he's just a typical British citizen, and a big fuck you to Drudge for telling the Taliban they just got a nice big target.

 

Shame on the British media

 

Can we give our enemies enough credit that they probably don't have to read The Drudge Report to find out what's going on in the world? Get real.

 

How would they know he's there?

 

It's a great story -- on its own merits. The embarassment thrown at the other golden children who have other priorities is a bonus.

 

That didn't need to be told until after his tour was over, it's not for Drudge to leave the gay bar long enough to decide what is news and what isn't.

 

Different media culture, Boom.
Can't judge them by our standards.
And HH, could you pick out Prince Harry in a lineup? I couldn't. I doubt the Afghans could. But printing that he was there, and his unit, and what he was doing is a bit too big a hint for me, to say nothing of the fact that his unit probably has to deal with local tribesmen whose loyalties are, shall we say, on offer.

 

Dick Cheney should feel shame, today -- if he has any sense of shame whatsoever, which is highly debatable.

 

Just so Fen can pick him out of a lineup.
