Just a quick update on what the news channels did yesterday to cover day 1 of what's looking to be a protracted conflict in the Middle East.
BFMTV, CNEWS and LCI were in breaking news mode for most of yesterday.
BFMTV not being the most objective channel, though to be expected as they are in the same group as i24news and in cases like these, sometimes share contributors and journalists if needed.
LCI lucky to have their usual set of retired army generals and geopolitical experts with coverage focused on the wider geopolitical and historical context along with the military situation.
Didn't bother to see how CNEWS was covering it.
Franceinfo kicked into breaking news mode later than the other news channels.
