Equestria Daily always has a page that is posted right before the latest episode, featuring streams and YouTube videos. The 1080p video obviously takes longer to get on the Internet, but it's worth it in my opinion to download it and watch it in its hi-def glory.
Here's EqD's page for Ponyville Confidential.
As for the episode, it was cute and made me laugh often.
Indeed, the plot of characters making newspaper column to spread dirt on other characters is a used format, but I can accept this. Big Macintosh talking back at the CMC was pretty awesome, and rthe mentioning of Trixie was interesting.
Whenever I see ponies in this show crying (for example, when Fluttershy was crying in this episode), I can't help but give a "D'aawww" of empathy, because I actually feel for these ponies, or something.
I have a little bit of a problem with the CMC, though.
Their ambition to get cutie marks is silly. A huge part of their ambition to get them is because every other pony seems to have one. I understand how this can connect to kids and teenagers who feel like they're alone and like everyone has some advantage over them, so they may want to feel "popular." But the team should make an episode where the CMC learns that they should accept themselves and discover their cutie marks without going through all of these antics and situations, which seem to happen out of narcissism and selfishness.
It was a pretty good episode. But that is the one problem that I have with the CMC.
