News boss taking fresh drink round sacked dour companion (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
rupert murdoch
'news boss' is the definition.
(Rupert Murdoch is a media mogul)
'fresh drink round sacked dour companion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fresh' could be 'pert' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'pert' is found in the answer.
'drink' could be 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink) and 'rum' is located in the leftover letters.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'companion' could be 'ch' (Companion of Honour) and 'ch' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'urd' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'taking' acts as a link.
(Another definition for rupert murdoch that I've seen is " Media mogul".)
