Are you accusing their source of lying? Or the hidden camera footage of their moderators as admitting bias - were they lying? What do you allege was deceptively edited here? Because what is reported by detractors as "deceptive editing" looks typical of just plain "editing" for clarity and brevity, not unlike what CNN or MSNBC may do. Else the recordings would literally be hours long.
Regarding Wikipedia's pronouncements, Wikipedia sources are largely news articles. Surveys of journalists show that those willing to identify themselves politically overwhelmingly identify as left leaning, the groups that Veritas tends to target. As such, the sources Wikipedia uses are more likely to be from organizations and writers with a bias against Veritas or towards their targets.
Not only that, Wikipedia itself, via Wikimedia, provides grants to left leaning organizations to host "edit-thons" to both generate content (which naturally coincides with the biases of the authors) and edit existing content (again, which naturally reinforces said biases). Not to mention the edit-thons not specifically funded or requested by Wikipedia themselves.
In any case, if this were the first, second, third, or even fourth time Facebook had been secretly caught with such biased ideological considerations, it may be a valid point. Sadly, it isn't. It keeps happening, and it keeps happening in favor of one side of the US political spectrum.
