Listening to the Police Scanner is absolutely riveting...

So much better than listening to the cable talking heads.

they would not want to cut it. Everybody is hearing them do a great job trying to defuse the situation and cheering them on. It is miles better than listening to the talking heads on MSM news repeat themselves and talk just to hear themselves talk. Not only that, you can hear on the scanner where the news media are trying to sneak onto the scene and interfering(Parker Street?). MSM is fucking nekked and looking bad tonight. Meanwhile, the police are looking good in their actions.

That scanner link should get a Nielson rating tonight. That scanner link probably has more listening than most of the MSM news channels right now.

Between the scanner and twitter, the MSM with their narcissitic talking heads got scooped BIG time.
