Editorials are factually based but they are generally written to express an opinion of the writer. According to Mirriam Webster's online dictionary, a fallacy has deceptive appearance, a false or mistaken idea, has erroneous character, or an often plausible argument using false or invalid inference. Thus, In my opinion an editorial must be checked very carefully by the reader so that they are not swayed into the trap of following an editorial that may well be a "FALLACY". Have a great evening and a wonderful holiday!
