Journalists probing dullard's issue when lying a lot (7)
I believe the answer is:
bedsore
'when lying a lot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'journalists probing dullard's' is the wordplay.
'journalists' becomes 'eds' (ed is short for editor).
'probing' indicates putting letters inside (probe can mean to poke or prod into).
'dullard' becomes 'bore' (synonyms).
'eds' placed into 'bore' is 'BEDSORE'.
'issue' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
