Leaders, real idiots in disarray (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editorials

'leaders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'real idiots in disarray' is the wordplay.
'in disarray' indicates an anagram.
'real'+'idiots'='realidiots'
'realidiots' anagrammed gives 'EDITORIALS'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
