Listening to the scanner and trying to watch sky news is confusing, are these scanners live?

Yes, in real-time, yet very filtered & controlled.
(a certain agency took over dispatch/broadcast control, hours ago)

My eyeballs are about to fallout I've been reporting from live scanners since the beginning. 90% of my posts are on this thread.

Reddit link seems 2hrs behind.

It'd be handy to have a popup window button, with a sticky type page listing all up to date info, maybe as an option to creating a thread and having delegates to update it.. wouldn't be hard to write up a script to do that, and specific forums would benefit from such a feature to keep them coherent to a degree, but these things never seem to happen before bigger buttons and stuff appear..

I've mentioned that in many threads, we really need some way to sticky some posts on the front page of a thread so you don't need to read 71 pages to know the actual facts, story so far, and maybe the main theories.

True, but we also have "we see a possible suspect" "get on the ground" "where are you?" "Nevermind all clear" ... No way tv or main stream media could present that. We are able to reflect that, but my sheeple neighbour would get a heartattack when listening to that.

But anyway what is the difference between listing to scanners in the 80s beside the fact we can post them now on the interwebz

Is it true they're reporting these guys are foreign and came here about a year ago? For highly trained terrorists I'd figure the bombings would have been worse though many people could have died that didn't. Plus tonight kind of makes me think they must be highly trained, whoever they are...

Not that I've heard, but the police scanner keep stopping for me with all the traffic hitting it.

If they were simply following online / offline instructions on how to build one of these things, it's likely they didn't really test them for how they'd impact real people, and thought the explosions themselves would do far more damage.

did i just hear CNN say the suspect that went to the hospital was killed at the hospital?

CNN is about 2 hours behind what's really happening...we are witnessing the dawn of a new news age!
Internetz +1
CNN 0

That is a couple if years now, im not saying cnn tells truth, but there is a huge difference between man stream media and speculation on in internet. If we claim militia, we discuss, of cnn reports militia the whole country goes in a wtf state for example

What? Most of the reports in the net are coming from eyewitnesses and scanners...the proverbial horses mouth if you will...much...much more accurate than waiting hours for bumbling reporters to get their stories straight...

Just think about how much info we wouldn't have if we relied only on CNN/FOX and others. I learned everything from reddit, here or the feeds from the net.

Yes, this is what it is, Gotta take info from all places and figure it out as a community(truthers), and then figure it out for ourselves!
