anybody watch either the ITN or Channel4 news tonight and their exclusive footage?

How the fuck did they get a broadcast quality camera that close to the action that soon - especially as the pictures from the ground was showing police clearing reporters back quite some distance from the block of flats as the cordon was going up

the camera was already filming when they put tear gas through the front door!

Yup.
"ITN/Daily Mail Exclusive" it said.

Did someone leak the details of the raid, or were the relevant journos just in the area, anyway, and got lucky?

Good to see something being done, though....

I belive it's not uncommon for the police to grant exclusive access to specially selected reporting teams, especially for high-profile busts or operations.
