Aside from portraying the buffeting as a positive (I can't say I've ever heard anyone else talk like that about any airplane) the piece performs a nifty switcheroo between the actual issue - that, contrary to gigabytes of advertising out of LockMart and its useful idiots, the F-35 is inferior to almost anything in BFM - and talking about acceleration in level flight at low speeds, in one case with far less than full internal fuel ("with more fuel on board than the F-16 can carry").
Obviously, whoever was interviewing the pilot or editing the piece assumed correctly that said switcheroo would be trumpeted by halfwits as the final answer to the BFM story.
