One could argue that Bill Clinton's response to whether he had "sexual relations with that woman" is also a "framing issue." (How do you define relations? If you define sexual relations a certain way, Clinton's response of "no" is fine)
This kind of "framing" is equivocation (aka Orwellian double-speak) and the author is correct in calling it out.

He did indeed have relations with her, and tried to trick the public into thinking he didn't. That second part is what I don't see here. From the author's perspective, which specific facts is Mohan trying to trick the audience into disbelieving? It doesn't sound like he denied that there's extremist content attracting views on Youtube.
