The episode is centered on housewife Lois Griffin's employment at Fox News Channel, despite the warnings of anthropomorphic dog Brian. On her first day on the job, she is assigned to do a report on Michael Moore's perceived homosexuality, but it is rejected when the exposé involves conservative Republican Rush Limbaugh. Meanwhile, husband Peter and son Chris decide to create their own animated sitcom. The pilot episode is a success with the CEO, but Peter decides not to air it when it is suggested that it be edited.
The episode was written by Matt Fleckenstein and directed by Pete Michels. It received mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, the episode was watched by 7.45 million viewers in its original airing in the United States.
