I find statements like this one very intriguing. First, I assume that people who would make this kind of remark (I hear it frequently) don't think they actually have trouble distinguishing between news and editorials. If it is clear to the people making this statement why do they think it is not clear to everyone else?

Second, I assume that people who would actually have trouble distinguishing between news and editorials, are not interested in either. So, why do those who make this kind of statement actually think the people who have a problem distinguishing between news and editorials actually have an impact on politics?

Third, I assume, given normal distribution, that proportionately there are as many on the left as there would be people on the right who have a problem distinguishing between news and editorials - basically canceling each other out, assuming a reasonable balance of editorials from both points of view. And, based on that there is no reason for concern.
