Dear Sky News Australia: Sinn Fein is Not a Person

Once in a while, we here at Paste like to help out other media organizations by conveying basic facts they might have overlooked. Consider it a public service. Today, we’re coming to the aid of SkyNews Australia, an outlet that was apparently under the impression that Sinn Fein is the name of a person:

I’m a Northern Ireland native journalist and can’t find full time paid work, but someone at Sky News Australia thinks Sinn Fein is a person. pic.twitter.com/F2pDpYSEsR

So, Sky News Australia: Sinn Fein is a political party from Northern Ireland. Not a dude. Thank you.
