Fred Goes Reporting

Fred Goes Reporting is the third episode of the fourth season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the forty-sixth episode overall.

Synopsis
The local news reporter gets fired, so Fred takes to the streets to try and replace him!

Plot
Fred finds out that the local news reporter has just been fired due to being caught marrying his first cousin. Excited to audition for the part, Fred puts on a jacket, assumes the role of a hard-hitting news reporter, and goes out to town.

He reports at a playground that man had a heart attack and died there, much to the dismay of two girls playing on the swing set.

Next, he is seen interviewing a police officer, who says that he is not allowed to talk about certain things, and can neither confirm nor deny certain cases.

This includes things such as a woman Fred chases when she didn't pay for a book she borrowed from the library, a boy Fred interviews who claims to have been abducted by aliens, and a jaywalker that Fred tries to prevent from crossing the street. Due to his vague answers, Fred calls the officer useless.

The episode ends with Fred questioning whether these 'criminals' will be brought to justice (and says probably not), but saying that the Fred Figglehorn of Justice will always be watching.
