Faux News (Multiverse and Friends)

Faux News is the 7th episode of the ninth season of Multiverse and Friends. The episode is a satire of Fox News, one of the most  controversial news channels in television.

Plot
When Fox News was searching for a journalist, they hired Katherine Mulligan to do this work.

Why It's Neutral (In A Good Way)

 * 1) The episode does an excellent job of mocking Fox News, a news channel that is notorious for being conservative propaganda and also known for being a pro-republican channel.
 * 2) The writers decided to make this episode a 45-minute one rather than 26 minutes, to point out a lot of flaws. Despite that, the pacing is good.
 * 3) The episode points out several flaws of the channel and also what they did, which include:
 * 4) *Lying on why critics slammed Hillbilly Elegy.
 * 5) *Their racist and xenophobic moments.
 * 6) *Their workplace environment.
 * 7) *Their annoying double-standard (for more context, they once bashed Obama for accepting to meet Kim-Jong Un, treating him like a criminal, yet they treated Trump like a god once he announced he would meet Kim-Jong Un).
 * 8) *The evidence alterations.
 * 9) *Them not quitting their whining about how the media is dead because they don't believe in conservative causes (which is very hypocritical).
 * 10) *Their sexist moments.
 * 11) The episode also covers serious topics very well, such as sexual harassment, misinformation, misogyny (along with other kinds of sexism), and so on.
 * 12) Some funny lines, such as "Fair and Balanced? Heh, more like Cruel and Unbalanced!".
 * 13) Katherine Mulligan does really fit as the protagonist of this episode, as she indeed worked as a news reporter on The Loud House, and the topic of this episode is Fox News.
 * 14) Aside from Katherine, other characters are likable and returned to their original personalities in this episode such as Luz, Amity, Stewie, Brian, and many more.
 * 15) * Speaking of Brian, like in the episode "Fox-y Lady" with Lois from Family Guy, he did warn Katherine about Fox News' biased agenda.
 * 16) The famous line from Katherine after she learned the channel's true nature: All media should be neutral! Neither republican nor democrat nor left or right nor any of that nonsense!
 * 17) Good Ending: After learning about the channel's true nature, Katherine decides to leave the channel and then return to work as a Royal Woods' news reporter, before exposing Fox News of what they did, which led to Fox News' eventual decline and shutdown.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Katherine, while likable, was very annoying in some moments.
 * 2) While the episode is still good, it did not age very well, once "Protest and Attacks" aired, which is a political propaganda episode.

Reception
With a 7.9/10 on IMDb, Faux News was positively received by critics, audiences, fans, and even a few news reporters, with many people agreeing that Fox News is a biased channel. Many people were also surprised that the episode aired on Fox, which is owned by the same company that owns Fox News. Obviously, that didn't stop Fox News from slamming the episode, as they watched the episode and called it a "left-wing propaganda episode", which of course received tons of backlash because the episode stated that the media should be neutral, and not left or right.

Trivia

 * Originally the episode was meant to have Mordecai and Rigby (both from Regular Show) as protagonists, just for more gags, but they later decided to pick Katherine Mulligan as the protagonist, because the writers thought she fit well in this episode.
 * This is the first episode to star Katherine Mulligan as the main protagonist in an episode and the 4th time she would appear. Ever since this episode got released, she would get more screen time.
 * This is the 5th episode to be 45 minutes long.
