'Kirk Van Houten - Oppressed White Man: "I have a message for your millions of viewers: I AM BEING SILENCED!!!!!!"'
That quote in itself is enough to describe what we see in this episode. This is pure political Simpsons done very well, it's been a while since we've had it this good. It's super topical and legitimately funny. It would be 10/10 hilarious if it wasn't so real and just kind of sad.
That being said, it is pretty great to see a show like The Simpsons satirize the insanity of Fox News, their rabid fan base directly in their faces. The other end gets jostled around too, the writers clearly got to let loose with the weird state of current American politics. I'd love to see them do more like this!
