As much as we want to believe that we'll offset the time wasted on JS' infotainment with quality information - that is barely ever the case. Most likely we'll simply watch more entertainment news.
As was mentioned above, i have a score of friend who used to watch JS religiously believing that they are educating themselves. Needless to say they were incredibly ignorant about basic issues. Somehow they believed that JS' collection of random trivia and half-facts clothed in his jokes is a real substitute for scrupulous fact checking.
Ultimately it IS entertainment and as all good entertainments do, it leaves you fulfilled even though empty of any concrete tangibility.
