France's major TV and radio networks were formally rapped by the French broadcast regulator today for serious "breaches" in the way they covered last month's Charlie Hebdo attack and subsequent bloody events. 

The warnings were issued for violations including: showing the moment two of the Islamist gunmen cold-bloodedly shot dead a policeman; identifying the two gunmen before police did so publicly; reporting that people were hiding in a Jewish supermarket taken over by a third gunmen; and providing live video feeds of the deadly police assault on the supermarket.
