An important story in the news


         Everyday, there are some important news in the world. The news often speak about meeting between important politicians, the novelties about the ongoing wars, world sporting or cultural events, technological or medicinal innovations, or simply the current weather. I would like to talk about a story I learned in September that shocked me enough.

On September 26, I learned by unlocking my mobile phone in the morning, that former French President Jacques Chirac had passed away. First of all, I was very shocked, because he was president from birth until I was seven, and he was very popular among the French. It was a small part of my childhood that disappeared. Therefore, there have been many commemorative reports on the news, even on my television here in Spain, I have seen some information on this subject. 

Nevertheless, what shocked me the most was that after that I typed his name on Google to find out more, and I discovered that half of the articles on the subject explained that it was a fake new. I have been so sad to see that even on an important and affecting topic as this one, there are some personn who denied the facts. Especially since it means that during a moment, I though that maybe he wasn’t dead. I find it very serious and wrong, and I’m happy to know that the governement have begun some actions to fight against these fake news. It was the first time in my life, that I was directly confronted to the fake news.
