Attack ad tactic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

'attack ad tactic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "allegation" , "Greasy or sticky mark" , "Besmirch" , "Medical examiner may take this" , "Smother" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
