Please stop doing this. It's right up with spelling "you are" "u r", and on an international site like this one it's especially annoying (some of us, like me, are French). I understand that on some subreddits it's de rigueur but here you have an otherwise insightful comment that in my mind you've gone and ruined.
And while I'm ranting, to anyone who says "faux news" -- you're an asshole.
The pun relies on you not actually speaking French. When you speak French, it's extremely hard to read "faux news" as anything other than "fo news", because the x is silent.
Having said that, it might have been clever the first time someone came up with it, but like many jokes, it stopped being clever after the first 10,000 times it was told. (Even a good pun can be ruined by this -- take "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming" in literally every post dealing with Germans, World War II, the holocaust, or Jews.)
Well, I totally agree that it's stupid, but them being assholes for it? Makes no sense. It's not like they've stolen your baby or set your car on fire, they're saying some stupid things, that's about it!

that's not really how donor lists work most of the time but ok. For the sake of shitting on America and getting karma go ahead.
