Most of my friends, as well as myself, who are involved/interested with politics get most of their political news from the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. (and I'm a Poli Sci major).
It certainly doesn't replace the kind of national info you can get on news but in terms of fairly broad political news it is far more informative (and less biased and dumbed down) than CNN or Fox (although technically I don't consider that news, it's entertainment like the Daily Show).
