Do we hold the newspaper high enough?

Damien got a couple very good questions from a student this week, and we thought we'd post them on the blog to get some conversation started. Here's one of the two from Chad:
I listened to Mark Driscoll preach this week, and I was edified. I was edified before he even got spiritual. He was just being sarcastic and talking about culture. It was encouraging to me that he is such a good exegete of culture. He holds the Bible in his right hand and in his left hand, the newspaper, movies, comedians... He's as good if not better at exegeting the culture as he is exegeting the text. So my question is this: as restorationist, we hold the Bible high, but are we holding the newspaper high enough?
