Incorrect! This is scientific fact!

In earnest editorial opinions implies they have done the research on a
given topic.

Incorrect. It means they represent the policy decisions made by the owners of the newspaper. Only children think it has anything to do with research.

Typical worker has employment and other activities of daily living,
which means little time to read the news.

Incorrect. Typically we work 8 hours per day (leave or take a few hours) and we have 30-60 minute lunch breaks. Note that the the total nr of available hours is 24. That leave at least 5-8 hours, if not more, in which to educate ourselves.

In analgous terms, consider Consumer Reports, which evaluates
vehicles, appliances, etc.  Is CR "treating their readers like small
children, lecturing them?"

Newspapers are not consumer reports, this analogy does not hold.

Your bullshit is very deep, btw.

Thank you, likewise. ;)
