They have a link to your answer on that very page:

This is a test: Video content on AdSense

There are many things in life that go hand in hand -- peanut butter &
jelly, wine & cheese, milk & cookies -- and for publishers, AdSense &
great content sites. We hope that the next perfect pairing will be
"great video content & your audience."

Over the next few weeks we'll be testing AdSense video distribution
and sponsorship with a small group of publishers. You may remember us
doing a similar trial last year with MTV Networks, where we
distributed ad-supported MTV video content to publishers who displayed
the content on their sites. This time, we'll be working with a larger
set of content providers, grouping together video content from
providers such as Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment
together with quality ads and offering them as playlists which
publishers can select from and display on their AdSense sites.
Participating publishers range from small to large, and cut across
many different types of content.

While we're unable to invite additional publishers into this test, we
still want to share some of the exciting things we're working on in
AdSense. We know our publishers are passionate about developing
quality content and providing the best experience possible for their
users. With this test, we hope to offer you new forms of engaging,
relevant content to meet these goals.

So there you have it.  "High Quality Content" in this case = High
Production Values + a great probability that advertisers will be
willing to pay for ads on their videos.  Period.  No meat or poison. 
This isn't videoblogging... This is business.  No falling off of
skateboards and no sitting in front of an iSight talking about how
unfair life is.

The question here is clearly how to transfer MSM influence to the
internet and the feasibility of advertising and marketing schemes in
situations where they _should_ be able to get money because these same
groups make money on television and in print ads.
