The move to Pinyinise Chinese names in schools meant technically switching to a different system of spelling for names to which people were unaccustomed to.

I'm not Chinese, but I can tell you that Mao Zedong's Chinese name, 毛泽东, would be officially Pinyinized as "Mao2 Ze2 Dong1", Deng Xiaoping's name, 邓小平, is "Deng4 Xiao3 Ping2" and Beijing's kanji, 北京, is "Bei3 Jing1".

To understand why many Singaporeans remained unimpressed with the state's call to Pinyinize personal names, particularly their family names, we need first to appreciate that the more successfully implemented SMC measures were successful precisely because Singaporeans were convinced of their pragmatic and communitarian rationales.

Pinyinization

en-noun

Pinyinization (countable and uncountable, plural Pinyinizations)

In Chinese, the speakability-readability problem is capable of various solutions depending on the audience for which the Pinyinized material is intended. A dilemma exists in the fact that the work of Pinyinization must be undertaken by people who are already literate—which means literate in characters—and Chinese literati, even of the newer generation, have displayed even less capacity than their Western counterparts to write in a style capable of ready comprehension by ordinary people.

1986, John DeFrancis, The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy, page 198:

There are a couple of reasons for that. One is that official pinyinization only applies to PRC placenames. This lets out Taipei and, until recently, Hong Kong and Kowloon.

2004, Society for the Study of Chinese Religions, Journal of Chinese Religions, numbers 32-33:

Note that many Chinese characters have more than one possible Pinyin representation. For instance, there are actually 16 different Chinese pinyinizations of the Chinese transliteration of Ashburton, according to the tables our system uses to map a Chinese character to its Pinyin.

2012, Thierry Poibeau, Horacio Saggion, Jakub Piskorski, Roman Yangarber, Multi-source, Multilingual Information Extraction and Summarization, page 59:

Though these orthographies used the Roman alphabet (with a handful of special characters) it is best thought of not so much as a romanization as a 'Pinyinisation'; that is, it followed not the global standards for romanising Turkic languages, but rather the idiosyncratic assignments of letters to sounds employed in Hanyu pinyin, the PRC romanisation of Chinese.

Faux News

From the similarity in spelling between fox and faux, denouncing alleged misinformation from the television channel's programmes.

Some of you benighted buffoons actually believe Faux News' claim to be fair and balanced. Some of you clueless clowns actually think Faux News is unbiased, and all other media have a liberal bias.
Well, now Faux News' London Bureau Chief has let the cat out of the bag. Faux News is biased, after all. Who woulda thunk it?

Most viewers don't know Faux News has fake Liberals. Listen to NPR and you'll hear many of the "liberals" from Faux News giving conservative viewpoints. Some have been on NPR for decades giving conservative views.
Faux News is a far right media, the deception is accomplished by presenting fake liberals giving weak arguments for the moderates and the left. It isn't real.
