I don't know why you get an AttributeError, it's hard for me to tell.

You could use container as a starting point if you like, it would work 
equal in your scenario.

Actually what happens in your code is that the context is
changed to point to News/FrontNews in dependent if you use
container or context.
News is actually acquired from what ever starting point you use.
(Acquisition is a marvelous and confusing beast :-)

You could also use (if you like to point to the FrontNews object with an URL)

news=context.restrictedTraverse('/Intranet/News/FrontNews')
# If the physical URL is /Intranet/News/FrontNews
news.manage_addProduct['EasyEditor'].addEasyNewsItem(<id and stuff>)
