suspicion of editorializing

Not editorialized, but likely transcribed from one or more interviews and the interviewee and interviewer edit lightly.

There are people who couldn't write something like that given weeks but get them to start talking and they do a marvelous job. Drawing that out of people is one of the things that marks good interviewers.

I do mean editorialized:

> To present an opinion in the guise of an objective report.

As in, I'm suspicious that the words the farmer spoke were heavily edited by the journalist before being published to better fit the narrative.
