Believer in fake news article, Republican keeping dull routine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

truther

'believer in fake news' is the definition.
(term for a conspiracy theorist)

'article republican keeping dull routine' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'republican' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside.
'dull routine' becomes 'rut' (I've seen this before).
'the'+'r'='ther'
'ther' enclosing 'rut' is 'TRUTHER'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
