Real idiots misrepresented newspaper's stances (10)

I believe the answer is:

editorials

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'newspaper's stances' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'real idiots misrepresented' is the wordplay.
'misrepresented' is an anagram indicator.
'real'+'idiots'='realidiots'
'realidiots' anagrammed gives 'EDITORIALS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for editorials that I've seen before include "Newspapers' opinion columns" , "Leading articles" , "Leaders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
