I'd guess the majority of news stories discussed on FYM can be linked back to Drudge.
An American website, the Drudge Report, broke a news blackout yesterday by revealing that Prince Harry has been serving in Afghanistan for more than two months.
To the fury of the Ministry of Defence and condemnation from the head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, the website announced a "world exclusive" and proclaimed: "They're calling him 'Harry the Hero!".
The article brought to an end an agreement with the media that the Prince's deployment to Helmand be kept quiet in the interests of his safety and that of the soldiers with him.
By July, editors of key newspapers and broadcasting organisations were sounded out to see if such assistance would be forthcoming. Without dissent, all agreed that it was the only sensible and safe solution.
"I am very disappointed that foreign websites have decided to run this story without consulting us. This is in stark contrast to the highly responsible attitude that the whole of the UK print and broadcast media, along with a small number of overseas outlets, who have entered into an understanding with us over the coverage of Prince Harry on operations," General Dannatt said.
"The editors took the commendable attitude to restrain their coverage. I would like to thank them for that."

i'd like to think the beatles, the stones, led zep, shakespeare, football, cricket, rugby, crap weather ect.. contribute to our national identity more than the bloody royal family do...

Prince Harry has been warned that serving in Afghanistan made him a prime target for terrorists.
Muslim extremists say the young royal is a "legitimate target" after ten weeks secretly fighting the Taliban.
Two Al Qaeda-affiliated websites are calling on jihadists to "slaughter" the third in line to the throne.
There will now be an urgent review of his security and the prince may have to curb his fondness for nightclubs. Many UK Muslims have praised his sense of duty, however, even while condemning the war.
