Everything screened by broadcaster is more jaundiced (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sallower

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

'more jaundiced' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'everything screened by broadcaster' is the wordplay.
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'screened by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broadcaster' becomes 'sower' (someone who broadcasts or sows seeds).
'all' going within 'sower' is 'SALLOWER'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sallower that I've seen is " Looking comparatively pale".)
