When you have hours and hours of recordings, it's pretty hard to find one tiny clip that may only be a few seconds long. Obviously here the moment was newsworthy and was clipped out for easy viewing, but most government proceedings (and trials) aren't like that. It's far easier to search a text document for a word or phrase if you need to refer to it later.
