Distort terms in peer’s broadcast (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misrepresent

'distort' is the definition.
(I know that distort is a more specific form of the action misrepresent)

'terms in peer's broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'terms'+'in'+'peers'='termsinpeers'
'termsinpeers' with letters rearranged gives 'MISREPRESENT'.

(Other definitions for misrepresent that I've seen before include "Give a false account of (something)" , "Falsely state" , "Give inaccurate portrayal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
