They average about two hours of screen time, compared with 48 minutes when being read to. [e.a.]



Maybe it's just Friday afternoon blahs, but I'm to lazy to figure out this sentence... I'd leave the room if someone kept reading to me while I was trying to watch TV. I don't think I could put up with it for 48 minutes.




Or you can use common sense and interpret it as meaning that they spend two hours watching TV as opposed to 48 minutes being read to. No point in criticizing a usage based on one's willful misunderstanding of it.
