- The Journal de l'Elysée, a parody account specializing in the invention of humorous quotes from political leaders, has once again seen one of its contents taken seriously.
- Internet users are indeed convinced that the Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet, would have stressed that Jean-Pierre Pernaut risked prosecution for having criticized the government.
- In recent weeks, several fictional humorous quotes have been taken in the first degree.
"Get out of your old skin", "you should put yourself in prison for your lies", "at Belloubet puppies" ... On Facebook, a post claiming to relay the words of the Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet, after the rant noticed by Jean-Pierre Pernaut on TF1, earned him a wave of particularly aggressive comments.
According to her, she would have declared that the remarks of the presenter - who criticized the “inconsistency” of a confinement with variable reality - can “be the object of a penal sanction” and affirmed: “It is inadmissible that in France a TV presenter can with impunity criticize the power in place ”. What cause Internet users to take offense at a serious attack on press freedom.
But these words are fictitious, since they were invented by the parody Twitter account Journal de l'Elysée - including several false humorous quotes from politicians have been taken seriously in recent weeks.

FAKE OFF
If the absence of the mention “parody” on the truncated screenshots containing these satirical contents explains in general that certain Internet users find themselves misled, it is however clearly visible on this post, next to the title "Journal de l'Elysée", which clearly claims its humorous (and fictitious) status.
Some internet users do not fail to point this out in comments to people who take these words in the first degree.
In recent weeks, false quotes from Sibeth Ndiaye, government spokesperson, or Amélie de Montchalin, Secretary of State for European Affairs, have notably earned them strong criticism from Internet users who did not realize their origin .
