I’m not using a native English speaker, so please avoid that, as I’m really stupid. And apologise in advance if the answer to the question sounds obvious.

The soup in the pot is too hot”, taking the sentences “The soup is too hot in the pot” and “The soup in the pot is too hot in the pot”. What are the meanings of “hot soup” and “cold soup”? What do you find in first sentence that feels “natural/right” to me, while the second reads somewhat odd, though I am unable to quote distinct grammar-rule it would violate?

Are both sentences valid and if so, am I correct in my hunch that the distinction is the emphasis? Why does the third variant read odd to most of us?

Is it true that everyone can relate to the news/news media?
