A radio broadcast about left and right in force (8)

I believe the answer is:

railroad

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'right in force' is the definition.
'railroad' can be an answer for 'force' (railroading is a kind of forcing). I'm not certain of the 'right in' bit.

'a radio broadcast about left' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'left' becomes 'lr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'radio'='aradio'
'aradio' is an anagram of 'raioad'.
'raioad' going around 'lr' is 'RAILROAD'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for railroad that I've seen before include "Unfairly force into decision - way for train" , "Bully" , "Rush (someone) into doing something" , "Coerce (someone) into doing something" , "[DRAGOON]" .)
