Just because a broken clock is still right twice a day, doesn't mean you should pay attention to it.

[xploit]

now that mike99 has gone, there is just no accurate info at all on here.

[ThomThomDrum]

To be honest letting one act slip through when efests gets 1000's correct and first, not only for Glastonbury but all the other festivals is not a bad record.

Errr the article was actually up by 08:55:29 however the last edit of it where The Sun quote was altered to the Glastonbury one was 11am

[rexclark]

The fact is I'll find most of my info off here no matter who revealed it first, I can't be arsed searching through all the shit on other sites for breaking stories. It's hardly the end of the world if I have to wait an extra hour or so till the news is on here.

Anyway at least E Fests deals in facts unlike most of the daily rags.

I wouldn't believe the date in the Sun until it was corroborated. I also really hate the sensationalist style of journalism in tabloid rags. Clearly written to appeal to chavs and dimwits.

To be fair, it (and the News of the World) are the world's largest circulated newspapers in the English language!

[Phil-itfc]

efestivals used to pride itself on being 'in the know'. When I heard that U2 had been revealed by......The Sun.....as headlining our premier festival I thought I'd have a read through the Glastonbury board to make sure that efestivals had known all along. But no!

What is going on? Has efestivals had its day?

[LRW]

Its only a news paper, get over it.

So what? Just because millions of people are reading it doesn't mean they aren't stupid, naive and misguided.

[GlastoEls]

Eh sorry your wrong.............the Times of India is

atauly guys. insults about the sun aside.

why was the news given out via the sun??

i mean it is englands most viewed papper, but i can't see why evis or u2 would go to them first??

surly the guardian would have been 1st as it sponders the festival??

I'm so glad you consider yourself such a saintly moral standard as to attack millions of people - including me.

[strummer77]

Read what you like mate but you cannot possibly defend these publications on the grounds that they have any worth.

[4AssedMonkey]

Agreed.

Don't buy the Sun ever. I wouldn't because of Hillsborough, but I wouldn't anyway, because it's a right-wing, Murdoch propaganda magazine

[grumpyhack]

In Murdoch's case it's simple. The man wants to make money. He does that by backing the people he thinks will win. Then when they do he can call in favours.

Remember Murdoch backed Blair before he won.

He started swinging towards Cameron but then began to have doubts - not about Cameron and his policies but whether he'd win.

this is a glastonbury thread not a debate about a bloody newspaper. a newspaper gives me my news in the morning, it does nothing else, it doesnt influence my decisions (i have my own brain for that) nor does it do any of the ridiculous things you people are saying it does. i come on here to read about glasto and to get excited so can we keep it about glasto please. if you want to debate newspapers firstly get a life and secondly go somewhere else.
