Broadsheet lost its base misrepresenting blistering item? (6)
I believe the answer is:
redhot
'broadsheet lost its base misrepresenting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'blistering item?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'blistering' could be 'hot' (similar in meaning) and 'hot' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'red' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for redhot that I've seen is " Poker tip may be".)
