So essentially, this is literal hardcore right-wing fake news, attempting to portray a left leaning news organization as "fake news", yeah?
Well, as long as it validates your own personal political ideology... I suppose.

Didn't they already do this? I seem to remember Van Jones saying the Russiagate investigation was a "nothing burger" among other things.

LOL @ Wikipedia as an unbiased source.
Yes, the videos are edited.
For time... he makes documentaries.
The entire uncut footage is released a well if anyone wants to go through it.
So no, it is not "edited to misrepresent context."
THAT appears to be the preview of places like CNN.

Yes, it is ultra biased, ultra right outlet camouflaged as legitimate journalism, but sticks to no rules or ethics of true journalism. Edits videos without any shame, cuts off statements in order to show bias, and so on and so on.
Basically, all you would expect non-journalists to do when all they want to do is turn a profit. It's tabloid stuff and some people love tabloids.
