While the news of the attack in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine was known late Friday afternoon, the two main news would they have failed to announce the information to their spectators?

Daniel Riolo, columnist on RMC, was surprised Friday night not to see the attack in the two shows.

"The news from TF1 and France 2 do not talk about the attack of the day? He wondered on Twitter.

Did I miss something ?

Has it become so commonplace that it's no longer on the front page?

Not impossible, I must have missed something… ”His message had been liked more than 2,000 times on Saturday.

FAKE OFF

A tour of the replays of the two news shows allows us to be clear: the editorial staff of TF1 and France 2 covered the attack which targeted a history-geography professor on Friday.

The public service channel opened its newspaper to this information, before coming back to it at the end of the program, with notably interventions by journalists on site and on set.

On TF1, the subject opened a special edition, broadcast a few minutes before the news on Friday evening, as well as that of the news.

The editorial staff also came back to the facts at the end of this program.

Samuel Paty, 47 years old and the father of a family, was killed on Friday in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.

The suspect of the murder of this professor of history and geography was a refugee in France and unknown to the intelligence services, announced this Saturday the attorney general of the national anti-terrorism prosecution.
