Crossword Genius

Opinion piece from real idiot possibly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editorial

'opinion piece' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'real idiot possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'real'+'idiot'='realidiot'
'realidiot' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITORIAL'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for editorial that I've seen before include "Newspaper opinion piece" , "Newspaper article giving the editor's opinions" , "Article that states a newspaper's opinion" , "Chief newspaper article" , "Leading article" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
