I'm glad you agree on the first part.  I'm still concerned about the second part.  In the context of his key 30-35 minute speech explaining his views fully to the public, I think a statement similar to what I wrote above has to be written, because otherwise you are not capturing the minutes of the meeting.   You are leaving out things because you've heard them before.  By that criteria, there would be nearly nothing to report from Washington because we hear the same things over and over.  But the reason we hear things over and over is because they were key aspects of whatever unfolded on that particular day at that particular time.  Each day must be a day to its own. The rules of reporting can never be changed.  It must report the event. It can add more context, but it can't leave out key aspects, no matter what.  That's all I can say, I guess. Thanks for the dialog. You've been generous. Thank you.
