But it would serve the reader better then changing the meaning of the answer.

The last election cycle had one too many edits to video that made people look better / worse on both sides. Lord only knows how many quotes in print articles got the same treatment.



Most of the time the raw unedited videos and/or transcripts where available somewhere on the web, so the problem isn't the the information is unavailable, it's that most people don't have the time or energy to go through it all. Removing all summaries, good and bad, will hardly change that. People who really care will find the relevant information.
