UPDATE: I have updated the above graphs for pinpoint accuracy. I had originally left out a few days that would skew the results (i.e. inauguration, Obama speeches) because it didn’t represent the news commentator who represented that time spot. But the new graphs represent that time spot instead of the commentator and now include every weekday from Jan 1 to now.
