Neil Postman said that show business is the same as a game of peek-a-boo. News headlines are shown sensationally so that people get hooked but their lives are barely affected. Peek-a-boo game is like watching TV wherein shows are flashed for sometime then disappears again. Television shows are very interesting to us in the same way peek-a-boo delights a baby.

The best technique to get straight to the point and quickly identify the main idea of a text is summarizing.

Explanation:

A summary is a comprehensive, usually brief, overview of the main points of a written or spoken text. For example, there are summaries of chapters and even entire books. The purpose of the summary is to give us a basic understanding of the text and provide us with the most important information about it (title, author) and its main ideas.

Paraphrasing is the process in which we express something that's already been stated by using different words, usually to achieve a better understanding. Paraphrasing doesn't include only main ideas, but details as well.

Quoting refers to the repetition of something that has already been said. This technique is the least likely of the listed three to provide us with the main ideas. We usually quote statements that contain details we find interesting.
