Could anyone explain this in simpler language? I don't understand the last paragraph Alternatively, unsolicited material may be justified on the basis that it has a significant bearing on the overarching subject at hand. This type of rationale is illustrated in ex.(25); other examples include the following: (28) UK, Today: Child Support RH: Can I say just to (set) the context... (29) US, 5 May 1996, This week: Gas Tax Repeal RR: But I think there's really a- a mu:ch b:igger (0.4) this is part of a much bigger picture... In either case, the import of this practice remains much the same. Such accounts acknowledge the fact that a shift of the agenda is in progress, and they even grant that this constitutes a breach of interview etiquette. But by providing a justification grounded in principles of fairness or relevance to the discussion agenda, interviewees present that breach in a favorable light.

It is very difficult to understand the context without reading more of the passage, but I'll give it a try: In normal practice, a person being interviewed should stick to the subject being discussed. To deviate from the topic may be considered a violation of normal practice. Such a violation may be acceptable if it is done to be fair or in some other way related to the topic.
