So where do you get your news?

An interesting fact came up this week in my Poly Sci class. I cannot vouch for the technical accuracy of the following statement, but it makes a good point.

If you take the total script of any major network's primetime news broadcast, and compared it to an average-sized newspaper, the script would equal less text than is contained on the newspaper's front page.

Okay, okay, but does the same hold true for the Daily Show?
