News about Liberal seen in Globe (5)
I believe the answer is:
world
'globe' is the definition.
(I know that globe can be written as World)
'news about liberal' is the wordplay.
'news' becomes 'word' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'word' placed around 'l' is 'WORLD'.
'seen in' is the link.
(Other definitions for world that I've seen before include "Everyone" , "good deal" , "The globe" , "Everything that exists anywhere" , "place Columbus set sail from with 1a [OLD]" .)
