I don't think enough people complaining about the editing realize that their complaints are mostly confirmation bias. Seeking confirmation that it's all a nasty plot against their favorite or a nasty plot in favor of who they dislike. They're looking for bias with a fine comb, every second of every episode. It's a wonder they enjoy the show at all.
