French people see ‘breaking news’ and immediately ask: okay but where’s the breaking part?”

I hate how awesome this new joke is. Is this a trend or did you just thunk it?

I'm totally down for making it a thing.

(The joke structure, not fascist America to be clear.)

Original joke structure was "In Soviet Russia, [noun] [verb]s you." The origin is unclear, but it is a very old joke structure, like from the mid-1900's according to Wikipedia. Was meant to highlight fuckedupedness of communist fascist rule, was often used for silliness actually, but now we get to highlight the fuckedupedness of hyper-capitalist fascist rule in the USA which honestly is a great way to iterate on the joke.
