This goes both ways, though. I hate it when I'm linked to an article that describes at agonizing length something that was captured on video, with only the lightest smattering of commentary that adds any insight or context, and not even a working link to or embed of the footage.
Think of Anthony Weiner's furious, "The gentleman is correct in sitting!" (before his fall from grace), or Musk's Nazi salute that looked suspiciously like a Nazi salute, or George W. Bush winning a free pair of shoes.
The video of the event itself would take fifteen seconds to watch and I'll still feel the need to watch it after reading the article anyway.
