Letter: Not even close

Editor, Daily News:

The factually incorrect letter of Martin J. Blied published on Tuesday is an example of why the Daily News should employ a fact checker.

Charles de Gaulle did not visit Quebec "a few years ago" unless you consider 1967 — some 39 years ago — to be a few years ago.

He did not utter "Viva la France" but "Vive le Quebec," followed by "Vive le Quebec libre."
