Robertson · Answer 1

Editorial articles in any publication always express the opinions of the writer or groups of writers behind the article. Therefore, these pieces are not generally considered to be valid sources of information, which should rely on facts, not opinions.

Pinto · Answer 2

Of course it should. It's the best available source of information

regarding the opinions of the editor and nothing else, and that's

exactly how it should be used.
