I believe that CSPAN has something like that in the weekends as well.

But that's outside of Will's example, because as you said, they are disclosing that they are getting it from the paper, and are even showing you the paper they're getting it from. He seems to think that we pretend we are the original reporters while reading newspaper articles word for word, and that just doesn't happen.
Plus, I am talking about network and local network affiliate-level news organizations. CSPAN is a very different concept from what most of us do, and NY1 is a local cable news channel, which also is not traditional mainstream broadcast news.
